When Akritas plowes – Pontic Greek Collection

Kostas Siamidis, Giorgos Stefanidis and Achilleas Vasileiadis sing "When Akritas plowes". Vanishing Languages and Cultural Heritage (VLACH) ID-number: pont1253GRV0004a Description: The following song is an example of an acritic song of the Pontic folklore. Acritic songs are called folk songs that refer to the exploits of the Akritai, the army units of the Eastern borders of the Byzantine Empire. The acritic songs are the oldest Greek folk songs that are preserved and are related to the literature of the twelfth century. There are also glimpses of bucolic life but still under the historical remnants of the harsh reality of the life of a frontier soldier, from whom much has been taken away in order to serve the cause of his emperor. The dialogue between a hero and a speaking bird is a very common motif in Greek folklore.
