Greece is a parliamentary republic. The nominal head of state is the President of the Republic, who is elected by the Parliament for a five-year term. The current Constitution was drawn up and adopted by the Fifth Revisionary Parliament of the Hellenes and entered into force in 1975 after the fall of the military junta of 1967-1974. It has been revised twice since, in 1986 and in 2001. The Constitution, which consists of 120 articles, provides for a separation of powers into executive, legislative, and judicial branches, and grants extensive specific guarantees (further reinforced in 2001) of civil liberties and social rights. Women's suffrage was guaranteed with a 1952 Constitutional amendment.

In the story The worm and the Angel what does the greek phrase ve dakeon para thina poluphloisboio thalassaes mean and what melody was associated with it?

"He went forth in silence along the shore of the loud-resounding sea." (A.T. Murray)

It comes from Homer's Iliad 1:34. Chryses, priest of Apollo, after having been sent away by Agamemnon (who rejected a ransom for the priest's daughter), goes by the shore of the sea to pray for revenge upon the Achaeans to the god.

The melody is that of the phrase itself. Bed'akeon para thina polyphloisboio thalasses. Greek hexameter is pretty melodic; check this other verse (Iliad 1:52): ball aiei de pyrainekyon kaionto thameiai ("and constantly the pyres of the dead burned thick").
