Giorgos Theotokas, bases his story on the Byzantine song ''Of Mavrianos and her sister'' but remodels the myth and sets on the center a historically existed character, king Andronikos, famous charmer of the women at his time. For the role of the chorus he introduces the presence of the '' popular bird with human voice'' knowing and announcing everything. Conveying the material of the initial inspiration in the modern time, organizes a politic canvas, in which he compares two opponent forces: the party of the madness represented by Andronikos and the party of Honesty, represented by Mavrianos.
