Description

A sweeping hymn to the sun opens the work, weaving ancient deities, celestial symbols and vivid images of light that bathe both village and city. The poet’s voice moves between reverent odes and playful invocations, invoking Mithras, Apollo and Christ as facets of a single radiant force. This lyrical tapestry sets a tone of wonder, inviting listeners to feel the heat of mythic battles and the quiet glow of distant stars.

From this luminous backdrop emerges a wandering figure reminiscent of the classic knight‑errant, a thin, idealistic soul roaming the southern lands in search of giants and lost virtues. He rides a humble horse, grapples with ridicule and broken shields, and is accompanied by a loyal companion who scavenges in the shadows of their adventures. Their journey blends satire and romance, offering a reflective glimpse into the clash between lofty ideals and the harsh realities of the world they traverse.
