songs by Dionysis Savvopoulos,\u00a0 Written in the 1970s, the song combines poetic imagery with a simple, melodic rhythm that feels almost like a lullaby carried by the wind and sea.<br \/>\nSo when Savvopoulos calls his song \u201c\u0398\u03b1\u03bb\u03b1\u03c3\u03c3\u03bf\u03b3\u03c1\u03b1\u03c6\u03af\u03b1\u201d (Thalassografia) (which literally means <em data-start=\"373\" data-end=\"409\">a
