One of the original colonists, Yann Servat, wrote an epyllion referred to as The Skornhanez, which celebrates the endurance of the original settlers of Lemnos. The first stanza of the poem is as follows: | ||
We do not stand down. | |||
The winter comes <br /> | |||
With ice and thunder, <br /> | |||
The battle of frozen steel <br /> | |||
Sounds at our disinterred gates, <br /> | |||
And still we do not stand down. <br /> | |||
A good portion of Eighth grade literature on Lemnos is dedicated to the study of the Skornhanez. | |||
