All together the imperial procession and fabulous Ithacans

went to the Hagia Sophia where waited for

Patriarch and the people of City.

Multimode heroes walked dazzled over the colorful carpet.

Young Pantisach made walks on stage ungentle beast.

Mehmet was the real Igenonas,

representative on earth of God, leader of faithful, the army, the navy, the son of Sultan Murad, the son of Sultan Mehmet.

The Turkish fleet sailed proud in the sea of Bosphorus.

The other Lales Isak Pasha with Mahmoud Pasha had under their command the bigger part of army.

Placed the right side of the front, occupied the area that began from the Golden Gate as the Gate of St. Romanos.

Genoese Giustiniani, the Venetian Baili Minot,

Grand Duke Loukas Notaras had command of the imperial fleet. Cardinal Isidore representative of Pope had come to negotiate the union of the two churches.

The emperor already put the seal of the agreement

ensuring the Papa support.

The western fleet was ready to start from Venice

once the news reached in Rome that agreement has been reached.

Later Luke Notaras openly disagreed forth in the all world.

He said in Hagia Sophia in the all world how best to see

in Constantinople Turkish turban despite the Papal Tiara.

Then the crowd burst out and began shouting Constantine -apostatic- spacer.

turned with your unleavened bread back to Rome.

A wild opera, a massacre of people were outside the walls

human bodies melted from the fire of hell.

Who God believed these brave fighters from the two camps.

Who God left be slaughtered so brutally mercilessly.

Nowhere in the Bible did not write for such carnage,

and the God of Koran at least in prayers was gracious and merciful.

Genoese Giustiniani and the Greek defenders bravely defended in the gate of St. Romanos. Resourceful Odysseus and multimode comrades took up arms and presented to Giustinian saying that they are friends of Constantine, and they have the permission

The warriors of Islam hang thousands on the walls,

they looked like huge bunches of grapes on the stairs.

Loukas Notaras send secret messages to the Sultan saying that he wants to collaborates with Muhammad, let's put Pantisach the conditions it wanted.

He was opposed with the Unionists and Paleologos

he believed that they delivered the City in Pope,

leaving the Orthodoxy in her fate .

Unionists were in agreement with the powerful party of peace, had led the Grand Vizier Candarli Halil Pasha

Halil wanted compromise with the besieged.

The Greeks were forced to live between a Hammer and anvil milled by the millstones,

Even if destined to die. They were born again from zero and nothing. Notaras asked from Giustiniani to let his men to guard Kekroporta. It was open and united palace of Blachernai with Charsia Gate and the Gate of St. Romanos. Never before in history, such a small gate played such a big role.

Only if you pass over my dead body will become this,

Villainous traitor said Giustiniani deep red from anger.

You prefer the Turks from Westerners.

The Notaras furious answered forgetting the manners.

Vulgar Genovese you forget what you made your similar Latins in 1204 AD. They were the ones who occupied the City for a generation in her thousands of years history. Robbed and burned many buildings and houses, took fabulous treasures all them while reported the name of God, being Crusaders.

This is a fact that became a lot of years before replied Giustiniani I do not have no relationship.

Emperor Constantine Paleologos riding a white horse wearing clothes king gave courage to the warriors saying.

28 MAY 1453

Keep well-keep well and this

the time and the day is ours.

The brave men turned and looked almost through the grave, had also given the last vitality of their forces.

A whisper began to be heard while transmitted by mouth in mouth, they heard the brave warriors

and cut their legs, their hearts stopped beating.

29 MAY 1453

After the Greeks began to say more hard,

all wondered if it is lie until that became

loud cry.

They heard and began to shout the myriad Turkish soldiers until became sky-cry.

Shouts of joy, wild voice of Victory

but also immense sound of crash,

became cry of defeat and despair.

" EALO THE CITY " - FALL THE CITY

Resourceful Odysseus and his multimode companions

shocked just heard that, their souls like

thrown out of the Body. Never heard such a cry,

never felt such awe, such a collapse.

My people what you did

The Greeks saw shocked the Turkish flags

fluttering over the Kekroporta

and palace of Blachernai. It was like had died a thousand times as many as the centuries of the empire.

The Janissaries lighter ran at length of wall,

mercilessly beaten everyone there in front of them

stepping on corpses.

Greeks left the Kekroporta open

from there entered the Turks

the great betrayal had happened.

Greeks pulled the troll

and they unlocked the door,

from there entered the Janissaries

spreading the havoc

the great betrayal had taken place.

Almighty Lord

accept our prayer

forgive us

My people what you did

Now only death reigns

my people

let my voice heard.

Nobody could stop the world

neither Constantine cried in vain

do not abandon their positions.

EALO THE POLIS- FALL THE CITY

Responded they desperately and the voices heard

as the end of world, as another dance of Tragedy.

Foretold things to come over the body of a city while dying.

EALO THE CITY-FALL THE CITY

Increasingly, there were increasing enemies around Constantine more and dilutes the guard around him,

One-οne leaving a hole.

then the last Greek emperor said with anguish with all the all force of his soul.

<< There is a Christian

to get my head >>

Single fought Constantine Palaeologus,

multiply the enemies around him but he tirelessly

he despised the death similar to angel of Paradise,

lived haughty solitude of death.

A sword found Constantine in person

and he retaliated by throwing the enemy down,

after another over the chest

and swooped like a lion against all.

Killed countless but was all alone.

From behind found the emperor one strong

then another and fell down dead,

this last Greek.

Constantine Palaeologus the last king,

Eternal grief, forever will be heard in the centuries.

Mehmed the Conqueror the great triumph

entered through the Gate of St. Romanos

riding a snow-white horse, jubilant like

passed the Gate of Paradase.

He walked among thousands of corpses,

devastated houses and broken objects

following the road to Agia Sophia.

This Mehmed the Conqueror dedicates to

the one and only God of Islam

the great church of Christians.

Mehmet annoyed from Notaras had heard for his sons, sent his harem eunuch to bring little son, he wanted the child to his harem.

Once arrived to the eunuch with the sons, Lucas Notaras

without kneels said fearlessly in Muhammad

How can I leave my son to do this.

Had to find a better way to kill me, let the Lord be great.

One thing I will ask. The executioner first to kill my sons,

lest fear and change their minds, then let's get my own head.

Resourceful Odysseus could not bear such horrors

and cast forth as a tomcat in Sultan.

He lost it, became yellow from fear,

he thought that the end came on the greatest glory

multiform Laertiadis had the ability

be transformed in that he wanted.

So took the form of death

and while for others it was a divine Greek Knight

for Muhammad took the form of an angel of death.

Then to surprise of all the great conqueror knelt

and started begging and begging

let him live a little longer to enjoy

all this greatness.

Never more completely enslaved people,

sigh under the Tyranny.

Three days and three nights kept the slaughter,

such misfortune did not found other city.

River the blood of the deads, startled sun

Turkomans brazenly raped small girls,

the women became wild objects of disire.

The unlucky Greeks ran to hide in vain to escape death.

An endless song of death

Lamentations and chanting, screaming and shouting voices of women. Atheists destroyed the holy altars,

the relics of Saints and martiron

May God bless us

Fair your use

Divine Odysseus and the fabulous companions

night they left from Constantinople.

All Greeks wept bitterly, left behind the city

In the darkness of tyranny. Regretted very much that he could not see the beautiful Helen Paleologos wonder what happened, saved, died, fled elsewhere.

Ithaca left invisible from the Golden Horn

without seeing the fabulous ship.

Sailed proud for Elsewhere

the Other Byzantium

the Serene Democracy of Venice.
