“Στο περιγιάλι το κρυφό” (Sto Periyiali to Kryfo), also known as “Denial,” is a song composed by Mikis Theodorakis with lyrics by the Nobel laureate poet Giorgos Seferis. The song is part of Theodorakis’ “Epiphania” cycle and has been performed by various artists, including Maria Farantouri and Grigoris Bithikotsis.

The lyrics of the song describe a hidden shore, white as a dove, where the narrator and their companions experienced thirst and longing. The imagery of the hidden shore and the writing in the sand that gets erased by the wind symbolizes the fleeting nature of human desires and the struggle to find fulfillment.

The song has a deeper meaning related to the political and social context of Greece during the time it was written. It became an anthem of resistance against the Greek military junta in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The themes of denial, longing, and the transient nature of life resonated with the Greek people, making it a powerful symbol of heir struggle for freedom and democracy.–Dimitris Dracopoulos
