Genos

In ancient Greece, a genos (Greek: γένος, "race, stock, kin", plural genē - γένη) was a social group claiming common descent, referred to by a single name (see also Sanskrit "Gana"). Most gene seem to have been composed of noble families—Herodotus uses the term to denote noble families—and much of early Greek politics seems to have involved struggles between gene. Gene are best attested at Athens, where writers from Herodotus to Aristotle dealt with them.

Early modern historians postulated that gene had been the basic organizational group of the Dorian and Ionian tribes that settled Greece during the Greek Dark Ages, but more recent scholarship has reached the conclusion that gene arose later as certain families staked a claim to noble lineage. In time, some, but not necessarily all, gene came to be associated with hereditary priestly functions.

    Segovia

    by: Juanes

    Un once de noviembre
    A las siete de la noche
    Hombres armados dispararon sin reproches
    Contra la gente del municipio de Segovia
    Llovia a cantaros, la plaza estaba llena
    Varias granadas estallaron en cadena
    El nordeste antioqueño todo rojo se torno
    Es una cancion por los que murieron alla en Segovia
    Y por todas las familias que fueron victimas en Segovia
    No van a desaparecer
    Nunca jamas de la memoria
    No van a desaparecer
    Aunque los quieran desaparecer
    Llovia a cantaros, la plaza estaba llena
    Varias granadas estallaron en cadena
    El nordeste antioqueño todo rojo se torno
    Es una cancion por los que murieron alla en Segovia
    Y por todas las familias que fueron victimas en Segovia
    No van a desaparecer
    Nunca jamas de la memoria
    No van a desaparecer
    Aunque los quieran desaparecer
    Es una cancion por los que murieron alla en Segovia
    Y por todas las familias que fueron victimas en Segovia
    No van a desaparecer
    Nunca jamas de la memoria
    No van a desaparecer
