Tanagra (Greek: Τανάγρα) is a town and a municipality north of Athens in Boeotia, Greece. The seat of the municipality is the town Schimatari. It is not far from Thebes, and it was noted in antiquity for the figurines named after it. The Tanagra figurines were a mass-produced, mold-cast and fired type of Greek terracotta figurines produced from the later fourth century BCE, primarily in Tanagra.
The municipality Tanagra was formed at the 2011 local government reform by the merger of the following 4 former municipalities, that became municipal units:
Pausanias mentions in Tanagra's location the ancient city of Graea, eponymous of the Graikoi, a Boeotian tribe whose name gave rise to the Latin Graecus "Greek". Homer, while reciting the Boeotian forces in the Iliad 's Catalogue of Ships, provides the first known reference to the Boeotian city of Graea.
Tanagra's alternative name was Poimandria, after its founder Poimandros, who took part in the Trojan campaign. It was the site of two Battles of Tanagra, in 457 BC and 426 BC. The Boeotian League under Tanagra led forth "the Boeotians" against the Athenian invaders at Oenophyta, 62 days after the battle of Tanagra (See Battle of Oenophyta)

Genres: Family, Sci-Fi,There's a hole in my life
and I don't know the right way to close it
things I believed in have all crumbled one by one
might makin' right, cries in the night
but we chose it
I've been decieved and I will
wait here till they come
they will come
and the right hand knows
where the left one goes
the hammer comes down -
nobody knows
please take a number, get in line
I heard it on the radio
I heard it on the wind you know
hurricane about to blow
over and over again
Heard it on the radio
knew it in my heart you know
saw it on a tv show
saw it all fall apart
I remember a time when they
drew me a line and I crossed it
you left me hanging
you ran for higher ground
it was yours it was mine
it was pure it was fine
and we lost it
or was it only that we never
looked around - look around
and the right hand knows
where the left one goes
the hammer comes down -
nobody knows
please take a number, get in line
I heard it on the radio
I heard it on the wind you know
hurricane about to blow
over and over again
Heard it on the radio
knew it in my heart you know
saw it on a tv show
saw it all fall apart
Is this all just illusion?
Is this all just a dream?
Do you want fission or fusion
or do you want to talk to me
talk to me, talk to me, baby talk to me -
or do you want to scream?
