How to create an OpenGL 3.3 or 4.x context through EGL

Question

I am interested in creating an OpenGL application that is independent of X11. As I have seen, this should be possible through EGL. There are even examples on the Internet. But how can I control the context version? The code sample below creates an OpenGL context (on wayland) with version 2.1, but on my computer it shows that the highest version of OpenGL is supported by 3.3 (this context can be created using glXCreateContextAttribsARB using GLX and xlib on the X server). So my question is: can I somehow create an OpenGL context with a higher version via EGL, and if so, how?

Code example:

#include <wayland-client.h>
#include <wayland-egl.h>
#include <EGL/egl.h>
#include <GL/gl.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#define WIDTH 256
#define HEIGHT 256

static struct wl_display *display;
static struct wl_compositor *compositor = NULL;
static struct wl_shell *shell = NULL;
static EGLDisplay egl_display;
static char running = 1;

struct window {
    EGLContext egl_context;
    struct wl_surface *surface;
    struct wl_shell_surface *shell_surface;
    struct wl_egl_window *egl_window;
    EGLSurface egl_surface;
};

// listeners
static void registry_add_object (void *data, struct wl_registry *registry, uint32_t name, const char *interface, uint32_t version) {
    if (!strcmp(interface,"wl_compositor")) {
        compositor = wl_registry_bind (registry, name, &wl_compositor_interface, 0);
    }
    else if (!strcmp(interface,"wl_shell")) {
        shell = wl_registry_bind (registry, name, &wl_shell_interface, 0);
    }
}
static void registry_remove_object (void *data, struct wl_registry *registry, uint32_t name) {

}
static struct wl_registry_listener registry_listener = {&registry_add_object, &registry_remove_object};

    window->surface = wl_compositor_create_surface (compositor);
    window->shell_surface = wl_shell_get_shell_surface (shell, window->surface);
    wl_shell_surface_add_listener (window->shell_surface, &shell_surface_listener, window);
    wl_shell_surface_set_toplevel (window->shell_surface);

    window->egl_surface = eglCreateWindowSurface (egl_display, config, window->egl_window, NULL);
    eglMakeCurrent (egl_display, window->egl_surface, window->egl_surface, window->egl_context);
}
static void delete_window (struct window *window) {

static void draw_window (struct window *window) {
    glClearColor (0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0);
    glClear (GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

    printf("%s\n", glGetString(GL_VERSION));

    eglSwapBuffers (egl_display, window->egl_surface);
}

int main () {
    display = wl_display_connect (NULL);
    struct wl_registry *registry = wl_display_get_registry (display);
    wl_registry_add_listener (registry, &registry_listener, NULL);
    wl_display_dispatch (display);

    egl_display = eglGetDisplay (display);
    eglInitialize (egl_display, NULL, NULL);

    struct window window;
    create_window (&window, WIDTH, HEIGHT);

    while (running) {
        wl_display_dispatch_pending (display);
        draw_window (&window);
    }

    delete_window (&window);
    eglTerminate (egl_display);
    wl_display_disconnect (display);
    return 0;
