From the welcoming of the Olympic Flame 2004 in Sitia Crete.
This is the oldest Hymn to PEACE.
Music set by Zachos Terzakis.
STROPHE 2.
Hail.! Greatest Kouros, Son of Kronos
Master of all gone below ground
return to Dikta for the changing year...
for here they took you from Rhea,
babe immortal, the shielded wards
and beat the dance with their feet.
(Literal translation: J.-A. Mac Gillivray)
Very clever! You use the "pentozali" tempo of 5/8 for the dance of Kouretes: The mystic of Zeus birth.
