It is as if someone observes the earth from a satellite and some moments stand out on the clear map, as bolts of lightning in a thunderstorm. • Besides, nothing was ever established without thunderstorm and pain on this earth. • It is impressive for someone to observe how these beams of light travelled through the globe and channels were opened for their expansion to the residents of the whole planet! Democracy, Justice, Meritocracy, Valour, Bravery, Isopolity, some of the fundamental notions and morals which derived from Ancient Greece and enlightened humanity. • For the recording of all this material, I have chosen some of the most important musicians of Greece and I have made a personal selection of material, lyrics and music of this eternal sample, so that the universal citizen may lie back, as comfortably and intimately as possible, and enjoy this supreme personal approach to art, expression and deep culture. • Much more material could be included in this work, but the time and purpose here are very specific and focus on the expression of the universal all-human values, on what we already know and what we come across here for the first time. The worthy is always there, we every time approach it according to our disposition and the excess of our heart. • Here, in this recording, you will come across both familiar and brand new illuminations, in any case the opportunity is always there for everyone! On this journey we have set the time of departure and the tickets are already being issued, so come aboard, live the journey and get to know your own Ithaka! • Let us have an enjoyable journey! • Petros Gaitanos • Athens, December 19, 2018 AD • • GREEK • -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • • • Πέτρος Γαϊτάνος • Ταξίδι στην Ιθάκη • Ένα Ελληνικό μουσικό ταξίδι από την Aρχαιότητα έως σήμερα • • Κατολοφύρομαι • Απόσπασμα από το πρώτο στάσιμο της τραγωδίας «Ορέστης» του Ευριπίδη, 408 π.Χ. , από πάπυρο του 2ου αιώνα π.Χ. • Μουσικό σύνολο Αρχαίας Ελληνικής μουσικής «Λύραυλος» • • Κατολοφύρομαι • Κατολοφύρομαι, κατολοφύρομαι ματέρος αἷμα σᾶς, • ὅ σ’ ἀναβακχεύει, ὁ μέγας ὄλβος οὐ μόνιμος ἐν βροτοῖς, • ἀνὰ δὲ λαῖφος ὥς • τις ἀκάτου θοᾶς • τινάξας δαίμων • κατέκλυσεν δεινῶν πόνων • ὡς πόντου • λάβροις ὀλεθρίοισιν • ἐν κύμασιν • • ΜΕΤΑΦΡΑΣΗ ΣΤΗ ΔΗΜΟΤΙΚΗ • • Θρηνώ, θρηνώ της μάνας σου το αίμα στην τρέλλα σ' οδηγεί.
