The Ionian Sea (Greek: Ιόνιο Πέλαγος, Greek pronunciation: [iˈonio ˈpelaɣos], Italian: Mar Ionio, Italian pronunciation: [maɾ ˈjɔːnio], Albanian: Deti Jon), is an arm of the Mediterranean Sea, south of the Adriatic Sea. It is bounded by southern Italy including Calabria, Sicily and the Salento peninsula to the west, southern Albania to the north, and west coast of Greece.
All major islands in the sea belong to Greece. They are collectively referred to as the Ionian Islands, the major ones being Corfu, Zante, Kephalonia, Ithaka, and Lefkas.
There are ferry routes between Patras and Igoumenitsa, Greece, and Brindisi and Ancona, Italy, that cross the east and north of the Ionian Sea, and from Piraeus westward. Calypso Deep, the deepest point in the Mediterranean at −5,267 m (−17,280.2 ft), is located in the Ionian Sea, at 36°34′N 21°8′E / 36.567°N 21.133°E / 36.567; 21.133. The sea is one of the most seismically active areas in the world.
The name Ionian comes from Greek Ἰόνιον (πέλαγος). In Ancient Greek the adjective Ionios (Ἰόνιος) was used as an epithet for the sea because Io swam across it. Its etymology is unknown. Ancient Greek writers, especially Aeschylus, linked it to the myth of Io. There were also narratives about other eponymic legendary figures; according to one version, Ionius was a son of Adrias (eponymic for the Adriatic Sea); according to another, Ionius was a son of Dyrrhachus, eponymic for the ancient Greek city of Dyrrhachium (modern Durrës in Albania). When Dyrrhachus was attacked by his own brothers, Heracles, who was passing through the area, came to his aid, but in the fight the hero killed his ally's son by mistake. The corpse was cast into the sea, which thereafter was called the Ionian Sea.
The Greek is a fictional character on the HBO drama The Wire, played by actor Bill Raymond. The Greek is the head of an international criminal organization involved in narcotics and human trafficking. The Greek is a mysterious figure involved in numerous criminal activities. His given name is never mentioned on the show, and though he is known only as "The Greek", he has stated (in the episode Port in a Storm) that he is not actually Greek. A quiet and unassuming man, the Greek prefers to keep a low profile, operating all of his business through his lieutenant Spiros "Vondas" Vondopoulos. His smuggling organization operated from a small diner in Baltimore for years, and while Vondas would conduct business the Greek would listen in quietly at the counter. Nick Sobotka, upon seeing the Greek identify himself, was amazed that the shadowy figure had been in plain sight the entire time.
Despite his calm appearance, the Greek is cunning and ruthless, and only interested in facts that make him more money. Series creator David Simon has said that The Greek is an embodiment of raw unencumbered capitalism. Anyone interfering in this process is eliminated immediately, and he prefers to leave victims headless and handless to hinder identification.

Ella pronto llegará
un momento que he esperado
yo una eternidad
y no acabo de creerme que
conmigo vendrá
me lo ha dicho sonriendo así sin más.
Yo le he preparado ya
flores frescas en la mesa que
darán más alegría
está vez ya no será mentira
a casa llegará
esta noche ningún otro la verá.
En mi mente ella está
como una obseción está
arden mis sentidos y mi fantasía.
Me imagino cuando llegue aquí
me imagino cuando yo la estreche
entre mis brazos un largo abrazo así.
En mi mente siempre está
en mi piel aún está
como un fuego que no sé como extinguir.
Con mis ojos yo la sueño así
como un angel ella espara mí
justo ella que
un ángel no, no es.
Medianoche debe ser
las estrellas en el techo ahora
ya las apagué
vuelvo a la cama y pienso que
conmigo vendrá
me lo ha dicho un día mucho tiempo atrás.
En mi mente ella está...
En mi mente...
n what mindset does our character lie? If the stitches that bind the fabric of our soul shrivel up and fall to pieces. Can one say with absolute certainty, that he who was once filled with noble virtues, might suddenly be converted into a monster so beguiling that even his own shadow cowers in fear?
I'm on a noose and i don't know where to hide

You, my attention's on you
It's like you're the sun and all my world gravitates around you
And you bring sunlight to my night
And the warmth I feel from you turns this world into life
And I will seem like a fool
Oh, in this time
I know that my pride on the line
Please, take my heart and my soul we'll sway in three's
Oh, my love would you dance with me
And my words
They all come at once
They all collide
And then get tied
And only the simple
Will come out right
And my heart
Races for you now
It's like there's a marathon in me
And you're the prize
That I'm willing to take
And I will seem like a fool
Oh, in this time
I know that my pride on the line
So please, take my heart and my soul
We'll sway in three's
Oh, my love
Would you dance with me
[Instrumental]
And I will seem like a fool
Oh, in this time
I know that my pride on the line
So please, take my heart and my soul
We'll sway in three's
Oh, my love
