The song of the dead brother

Alexandros Nikou

This mural was inspired by the oldest surviving traditional Greek folk song, part of a series called "paraloges" (illogical) because of their supernatural themes. "The dead brother's song" features a dead man rising to fulfil an oath, and birds speaking in human voices.
