Towards the Eurovision Song Contest that is going to take place in Roterdam, The Netherlands next week, here's a reminder from 1979's Eurovision held in Israel.
The song was written by Doros Georgiades (music) & Sofia Tsotou (lyrics).
It was the Greek entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1979, performed in Greek by Elpida.
The song was performed seventh on the night, received 69 points and ranked 8th out of 19 songs.
The song is in praise of the philosopher Socrates, who is likened to a "superstar" in the lyrics. Mention is made of his trial and forced suicide, linking the Athenian citizens to Pontius Pilate, as a reference to them doing nothing to prevent his death.
