Aegeus (Αιγεύς)
- (Λάμπει, λάμπει, λάμπει...)
Ο ήλιος στα βουνά:
The lyrics as well as the vocals of the song come from a composition originally made by the Greek musician and composer Vangelis (Papathanasiou, best known for his Academy Award-winning score to Chariots of Fire), titled "Oi Kolokotroneoi" (album: Odes - 1979). The lyrics come from a well-known Peloponnesian folk song and the vocals belong to the Greek actress and singer Irene Papas.

- Κολοκοτρωναίων:
The Kolokotroneoi were a family of klefts (highwaymen turned self-appointed armatoloi, anti-Ottoman insurgents, and warlike mountain-folk who lived in the countryside when Greece was a part of the Ottoman Empire), a powerful and respected clan in Arcadia (central Peloponnese) in the 18th century. The most well-known member of the family is Theodoros Kolokotronis (aka Geros tou Moria), a general, the pre-eminent leader and one of the most prominent figures of the Greek War of Independence against the Ottoman Empire.
