BEWIZED‘s guitarist/singer/songwriter Paschalis Theotokis stated that: “Undead Legacy” is constructed on Homer’s poems. Homer is the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey, and is revered as the greatest of ancient Greek epic poets. Album has 3 main parts; It kicks in with “War I Wage” (Track 01) which is based on the Iliad. The Iliad relates a part of the Trojan War, the siege of Troy. It runs through some songs to meet the second station which is “The Tempest” (Track 05), fully based on the Odyssey. The Odyssey describes Odysseus’s rough journey home. Album’s finished with the last part of the Odyssey, Odysseus return to Ithaca, slaying of the suitors to find his own peace of mind “Vindication” (Track 11).
