This song can be interpreted in many ways, but for me, vividly demonstrates the unique geographical position of Greece and the influence from Middle East countries on commerce, economy, trading and migration for centuries.

The fortune teller
Is it possible for a song to influence economic theory? The fortune teller (Chartorichtra) is a Greek song, performed with the beautiful voice of Lizeta Kalimeri. The song tells a story, about a mystery woman from Libya, a fortune teller named Amina who arrived silently at night at the port of Chania in Crete, at February 1959 after destruction, probably war that she predicted. Amina was disappeared up to the Cretan mountains rarely seen, she is wearing her silk dress and staring at the East after every huge destruction.
This song can be interpreted in many ways, but for me, vividly demonstrates the unique geographical position of Greece and the influence from Middle East countries on commerce, economy, trading and migration for centuries.
