I think it is Melanargia larissa larissa, based on the distinct pattern on the ventral hindwing.

Hi Matthijs! My suggestion should read Melnargia sp. There are 2 species in Greece, galathea and larissa. My understanding is that they are distinguished on the basis of the upper side... See what others think:-)
