| Streszczenie: | Cicada chorus is one of the most characteristic continuous sounds that dominates the Greek soundscape during summer. In this paper, we will try to underline the importance of the Cicada singing from a double view: first we will go through a short reference on the meaning of this fascinating song of cicada through the myths of Esope and the writings of Aristotle and Plato, as cicada singing is ancient polyvalent symbol of resurrection and spiritual ecstasy.
