Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tho vythós to pátheis ti vythise ta tos
Tho chathei to psychi to vathyiss ta tos
Tho pithos to vythós tho vythós ta tos

Ta tho ta psychi tha thi katapiei tos
Ta tho sóse théti thápi to tei thei tos ti
Tho pátheis ti vhytos thi vythós ta tos
Tho vythós to pátheis ti vythise ta tos
Tho Chathei to psychi to vathyiss ta tos
Tho pithos to vythós to vythós ta tos

The lyrics for Gerard Marino's song Poseidon's Wrath are in Greek but can be roughly translated into English. The song talks about the power and wrath of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea. The lyrics describe his control over the vast ocean, the depths of the sea, the souls of the drowning, and the treasure he holds in his possession.
The first part of the lyrics talks about the depths of the sea and the souls that drown in it. It goes on to describe how the soul is trapped and completely at the mercy of Poseidon's power. The lines "Tho chathei to psychi to vathyiss ta tos, tho pithos to vythós tho vythós ta tos" signify how the soul is lost deep in the vastness of the sea, and the treasure and power bestowed upon him by the gods of Olympus.
The second part of the lyrics talks about how Poseidon's wrath is all-encompassing and how he holds ultimate control over life and death. The lines "Sóse mas thanatos, Skótos teipos, Skotós teipos" suggest that his power is so great that he can either save humans from death or lead them to it. The lyrics speak about the inevitability of death and how it is ultimately in the hands of Poseidon.
Overall, the lyrics of Poseidon's Wrath have a dark and ominous tone, fitting for a song about the god of the sea and his power and control over the lives of mortals.
