Default Greek formation sign?

Would anyone know if this badge pertains to Greek Army, (or Greek Cypriot)? Have been unable to identify online

Thanks for that. Would I be asking too much if you can supply a caption. I have just come up with Larnaca if that helps

Found a site showing badges of Cypriot "Land Forces" which includes a slightly different version under the heading :
"These consist of formations at Brigade and Regimental Combat Group levels."

My Greek friend tells me the translation of the badge in first post is “Even in Death He Defeated His Enemies”. Also seen on a badge in a later post. Another badge in the later post has the Ancient Greek words which in English lettering would equate to Moloan La Bey (soft b in Bey) this was the answer given the Persians when told to lay down their weapons.....The Spartans replied, Molon Labe.... Come and take them. Regards, D.J.
