Polydeykis
Polydeykis was born in Athens during the 1980s. From an early age, he heard the call of the Muses and directed his creative efforts toward music. He studied accordion and music theory, while teaching himself guitar. His diverse discographic works have been released both in Greece and internationally. In 2002, he founded the epic metal band Sacred Blood, of which he remains the cornerstone and primary creative force to this day. Since then, he has released three albums with Sacred Blood and created one album with his personal folk metal project "Athlos." He also participates in the international folk music collective Folkearth, contributing to both music and lyrics as well as performance, playing accordion, guitar, harmonium, flute, and other instruments. In his academic career, he pursued undergraduate and graduate studies in Law, specializing in criminal law and criminal procedure. His passion for tradition and folklore led him to create a storytelling podcast titled "Fairy Tales and Stories from Europe and Greece," where he presents both traditional stories from Greece and the rest of Europe, as well as original fairy tales of his own composition that follow the style of traditional narrative. His literary works include three standalone science fiction stories and fan fiction, one science fiction novel, and a significant academic work that explores the connection between ancient Greek myths and historical realit
