About the song
Two priests, wearing tall pointed hats, lit the fires, and a red bard began to play on the harp, slow and stately. The naked men, who had worked hard all day, except Kafassios, began to dance, slowly, the sweet notes plucking on their weary calves and punished ankles. Arkwan rested. A procession of cows was led between the fires, followed by a few bulls, then mares, then stallions. The horses were as fine as Kapi, Prince Taslan's black mare. King Taslan's, he meant.
