Zagori, Epirus: Up and Down the Stony Steps (with the sound of the river and cows' bells)

"Many cultures have been fascinated with the butterflies metamorphosis from caterpillar to winged butterfly and believe the butterfly, to be the symbol of the human soul and of mystical rebirth. In ancient Greece the word psyche means personification of the soul and butterfly. The Greeks believed that a new human soul was born when a butterfly emerged from its pupa". Source (Su George)
