Description
The decorative engravings that announces an album version that will illustrate a text of the Hellenistic era: the romance «Thyrsis or Ode» from the Voukolika Theokritou. The issue was not completed ever. The expression «Faine and siga» appears on a eilitario and refers to a legend of Aesop, which tells the difference between a star shines in the sky and an oil lamp that prides itself on its own light is stronger: Fotize (Faine) and siopise (siga), says the star and continues, the stars light is not never lost.
