"The Captive" (Ο Αιχμάλωτον) — an akritic song of the Pontic Greeks.
Lyrics included in the thread reply.
The Akritai were the frontier troops and inhabitants of the East Roman eastern borderlands in Anatolia, mostly active from the 8th to the 11th century, whose role was to raise the alarm against Arab raids, evacuate locals to fortresses, and harass the enemy until the regular thematic armies arrived.
The term itself was loose and covered light infantry, local militia, and irregulars rather than a single defined unit, though the great military families that came to dominate the empire's army by the tenth century also emerged from this same frontier world.
Out of it came the akritic songs and the epic of Digenes Akritas, probably first written down in the eleventh century, which celebrate single combat, honor, and a borderland where Roman and Arab warriors recognized each other's courage. Digenes himself often fights Charon, the personification of death, and a whole branch of the cycle is built around their wrestling match on the marble threshing floor, where even the greatest of the Akritai is finally brought down.
This particular song does not feature Digenes, though. Its hero is the unnamed captive son of Andronikos, and it belongs to the older "Sons of Andronikos" branch of the same cycle.
Fransız ihtilali başarılı olunca, tüm dünya ulus devletliğine döndü. İmparatorluklar tarihe karıştı. Eğer tam tersi yaşansaydı, bunun sonucu ne olurdu? Faşist Fransız mı? Ya da Naziler savaşı kazansaydı? Avrupa ikiyüzlülüğü diye bir gerçek var. O yüzden fikirlerinizin zerre değeri yok!
Faşizm mi arıyorsunuz? 2026 senesinde, en elit ve modern olan herhangi bir ortamda Türk olduğunuzu söyleyin… Hatta Türk pasaportu ile kariyer yapmaya çalışın, sabıkasız, eğitimli ve başarılı bir insan olun ya da bırak kariyeri, turistik bir vizeye başvurun. O zaman tadarsınız gerçek faşizmi…
Siz sikik amcıklar yüzünden gerçek faşistin kim olduğunu sorguluyorum birkaç senedir.
