## Story notes

[edit]

According to guitarist/singer/songwriter Paschalis Theotokis, Undead Legacy is constructed on Homer poems.[2] Homer is the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey, and is revered as the greatest of ancient Greek epic poets.

## Track details

[edit]

The album has three main parts; It kicks in with "War I Wage" (track 1) which is based on the Iliad. The Iliad relates a part of the Trojan War, the siege of Troy. It runs through some songs to meet the second station which is "The Tempest" (track 5), fully based on the Odyssey. The Odyssey describes Odysseus rough journey home. The album finishes with the last part of the Odyssey, Odysseus return to Ithaca, slaying of the suitors to find his own peace of mind "Vindication" (track 11).[3]
