Opson
Opson (Greek: ὄψον) is an important category in Ancient Greek foodways.
First and foremost opson refers to a major division of ancient Greek food: the 'relish' that complements the sitos (σίτος) the staple part of the meal, i.e. wheat or barley.
Opson is therefore equivalent to Banchan in Korean cuisine and Okazu in Japanese cuisine.
Because it was considered the more pleasurable part of any meal, opson was the subject of some anxiety among ancient Greek moralists, who coined the term opsophagia to describe the vice of those who took too much opson with their sitos.
Although any kind of complement to the staple, even salt, could be categorized as opson, the term was also commonly used to refer to the most esteemed kind of relish: fish. Hence a diminutive of opson, opsarion (ὀψάριον), provides the modern Greek word for fish: psari (ψάρι), and the term opsophagos, literally 'opson-eater', is almost always used by classical authors to refer to men who are fanatical about seafood, e.g. Philoxenus of Cythera.

Path Of Hurtings
by: ObsinThrough all the way that we've been through
And all the tears that we have spill
There's have left a feeling in me
Something that I couldn't throw away
I tried so hard to purge the demons from my soul
But they are still haunting me
And the pain keeps going on and on
Can't you see?
Now that's all over
All the way
My heart will be with you
Don't you feel?
Now that's all over
All the way
My heart will be with you
All the way
A path o hurting kept us apart
But there's something that we have
That still holds us one
A stronger chain, that keep our souls tied
Through the distance between us
No matter how we try to destroy our mistakes
It will survive on and on, on and on
Can't you see?
Now that's all over
All the way
My heart will be with you
Don't you feel?
Now that's all over
All the way
My heart will be with you
All the way
No one can fill the empty spaces, the void in our souls
Fill the place we can't control, with reason and
freewill
We can't deny the feelings, cause it will just bring
sadness
