Pyrisous, Aeacides, Aemonius, Aspetos, Larissaeus, Ligyron, Nereius, Pelides, Phthius, Podarkes…
Some of the names of the greatest warrior of all time. The myth amongst the living and the departed. Achilles, the main character of Iliad, the glorious king, the fearless leader, the ideal soldier…
On the other hand, the allegory… Homer’s epic poem in the hands of the righteous, catapulted in a dystopian reality, becoming a cultural heritage for the future.
ILLUSORY present “Ashes To Dust”, a heroic rhapsody, taken off their third album, “Crimson Wreath”. Illustrious actor/director Grigoris Valtinos is the leading man in a story which exemplifies the essence of a fable across a path walked by the bravest and honored by the scholars of the world. This short film is about an epic manifesto, a darkening day to come and everlasting hope.

Lyrics:
Mother Thetis, my Goddess, my queen
Scion of Myrmidons, my fate’s been written on
Odysseus tricked me, a fake battle scene
Deep in the Skyros isle where I was hidden
They gave me warfare when I was fifteen
I’ve been invincible and never beaten
Thrust my spear high turns ashes to dust
Brave and sacred the Achaean’s nation
We cry in choral, a wail for the dead
Graves in fields, an eternal damnation
Eye for an eye, their blood I shall spread
I’ll fight even fame, Achilles’ my name
Fifty ships, nine victorious years
Killed men and sons of Gods without a penance
Lost my friend, spent my last drops of tears
I’m coming for you, Hector, taste my vengeance
Thrust my spear high turns ashes to dust
Brave and sacred the Achaean’s nation
We cry in choral, a wail for the dead
Graves in fields, an eternal damnation
Eye for an eye, their blood I shall spread
I’ll fight even fame, Achilles’ my name
Η σ᾽ εὖ γιγνώσκων προτιόσσομαι, οὐδ᾽ ἄρ᾽ ἔμελλον πείσειν· ἦ γὰρ σοί γε σιδήρεος ἐν φρεσὶ θυμός. Φράζεο νῦν, μή τοί τι θεῶν μήνιμα γένωμαι ἤματι τῷ ὅτε κέν σε Πάρις καὶ Φοῖβος Ἀπόλλων ἐσθλὸν ἐόντ᾽ ὀλέσωσιν ἐνὶ Σκαιῇσι πύλῃσιν.
Twelve Gods of Greece, all by your side
Now rest in peace, brother be my guide
Your soul is mine, your mortal breath
Now quench your thirst, water from Lethe
So brave and sacred the Achaean’s nation
We cry in choral, a wail for the dead
Graves in fields, an eternal damnation
Eye for an eye, their blood I shall spread
I’ll fight even fame, Achilles’ my name
Ashes to Dust!
