Inhaltsangabe

On 10 May 1936 the 27-year old Greek poet Yiannis Ritsos saw a newspaper photograph of a woman weeping over the body of her son, a Salonica tobacco-factory worker killed by police during a strike. Two days later the Communist Party newspaper Rizospastis published a long poem by Ritsos. Dedicated ''to the heroic workers of Salonika'' and drawing on the fourteenth-century Greek Orthodox Epitaphios Thrinos, the poem combines Mary''s lament at Christ''s tomb with popular Greek folk traditions of resurrection and Spring to create a universal lament sung by every bereaved mother ''who sits and mourns on the blood-stained street with her heart flayed, her wing broken.''
