(Intro &piano music)An Ελεγεία in ancient Greece was a religious poem made from two different verses. An hexameter and a pentameter. The poems escaped religion and started getting thematically wider but they all had one thing in common. Lament. Like the one used on the tombstone of the fallen 300 Spartans. 'Ω ξειν' αγγέλειν Λακεδαιμονίοις οτι τήδε κοίμεθα τοις κοίνων ρήμασι πειθόμενοι' -Oh stranger passing by, tell the Spartans that we're buried here, obeying their orders. In England, the poetry along with the style arrived from the French 'elegie' in the 16th century and stayed.
