“Σφαγή“ (Massacre) - Major streaming services: This folk poem originates from the wider region of Epirus and Central Greece, and its age exceeds two centuries. It is written in iambic fifteen syllables, while over the years a verbal insertion (crunch) was added to the first half verse, “- my countryman, reigned -“, in order to adapt the poem to the rhythmic pattern of the song. The “crunch“ was something common in folk dance songs and it was a peculiar technique that served the asymmetric structure, so that the verse could correspond to the dancing moves and movements. The rhythm is “Tsamikos” (6/8).
