Freakin' weird name for a band, ain't it (the first 3 times you try to pronounce it, you'll probably tumble over your tongue some, but after that you'll find the word difficult to expel from your mind)?

The Greek title literally translates as “one's own henchman”, and the poem reflects an emotion of solitude of its author.
