“When I revealed the song title to my band mates, most of them thought I was joking. The thing is that the seventh son was Theseus, the ancient king of Athens, when he traveled to Crete to be given as a sacrifice to Minotaur, the mythical monster-son of King Minos, seven sons and seven daughters in total, says the legend. I always liked to borrow song themes from ancient Hellenic mythology and this song gave me the struck immediately, as it is powerful, lyrical and has in general an epic approach.” -- comments by Fotis Sotiropoulos.
