Apollo , the god of the light, prophecy and music , known as Phoebus and Mousses(the one leading the chorus of the Muses)was born from joining of Zeus and Leto, in a desert, island in the center of the Aegean, the sacred island of Delos.From Apollo and the Muse Calliope, Orpheus was born ,remembered as the greatest musician in the Greek mythology. He participated in the expedition of the Argonauts , setting the pace for the rowers with his lyre, while his melodies calmed down the seas and even surpassed the song of the Sirens .After his tragic death , having been cut to pieces by the Mainades of Thrace, his head was washed ashore in the island of Lesvos. All these allegories simply prove the in the world of the sea and especially in the Aegean, music and singing is an ancient privilege a language of expression as the history of these places.
   By studying songs from different eras in all of the regions reached by the sea-ways of the Greeks , one could even reconstruct another kind of historic course, such as it was experienced and realized by the inhabitants of this small part of the Eastern Mediterranean .And maybe this point of view has more to tell than the official history more tangible as a record of human experience, especially being sung by the protagonists of the events, and by the people having felt on their own skin the consequences of events taking place in these troubled regions .Because , as it is Known, it is always pain , passion and wrench the give birth to a song capable of touching the hearts, a song that lasts.
   In the Greek songs of the sea mostly connected with the insular and coastal regions of the Aegean, one can find impressive variety and multiformity. This reality could be justified by the geographical isolation (the islands being spread apart) and by the relative difficulty of communication, but also by the successive layers of colonists and conquerors, for no less than four thousand years now.
