Hay en mi un griego antiguo que aqui descanso un dia, despues que le dejaron loco de melodia las sirenas rosadas que atrajeron su barca.

RUBEN DARIO (1867-1916)

Υπάρχει ΅έσα ΅ου ένας αρχαίος Έλληνας, εκεί αναπαύτηκε ΅ιά ΅έρα όταν τον τρέλαναν οι ΅ελωδίες των ροδόκαλλων Σειρήνων που ΅άγεψαν το πλοίο του.
