Review
While Aegis doesn't particularly expand Theatre of Tragedy's sound -- goth-metal topped with male/female shared vocals -- it does refine and polish the approach. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi| Aegean Rhapsody (2007 Album by Viktor Mastoridis) | |

Music and lyrics
As with Theatre of Tragedy's previous albums, the lyrics are written in Early Modern English which sounds very different from modern English: 'Vaunt! - Devil tyne - Wadst thou wane fore'ermae? (from the song "Angélique"). The subject matter is drawn from a range of European folklore and history: Venus and Poppæa are from Roman sources; Aœde, Cassandra, Bacchante and Siren are drawn from Greek mythology; while Lorelei refers to a Nix from German stories.
Track listing
- "Cassandra" – 6:48
- "Lorelei" – 5:37
- "Angélique" – 5:46
- "Aœde" – 6:10
- "Siren" – 7:30
- "Venus" – 5:33
- "Poppæa" – 5:47
- "Bacchante" – 6:42
A limited edition release contains a bonus track, "Samantha", which appears between "Siren" and "Venus". The Japanese release of the album contains a second bonus track, "Virago", which appears after "Bacchante".

From this period there were 2 releases.
- "Cassandra" was the first single and was released in April 1998. It was released with a track called "Cheap Wine (Edit)" and backed with "Aœde (Edit)"
