Therapnes (Greek: Θεράπνες), in ancient times Therapne (Ancient Greek: Θεράπνη), is a municipal unit (dimotiki enotita) of the municipality (dimos) of Sparti within the regional unit (perifereiaki enotita) of Laconia in the region (perifereia) of Peloponnese, one of 13 regions into which Greece has been divided. Before 2011 Therapnes was a Demos of Lakonia according to Law 2539 of 1997, the Kapodistria Plan. Its seat was Gkoritsa, which now has no such status.
Both before the Kallikratis law and after it, Therapnes was composed of the same eight Local Communities (topiki koinotita), the lowest level of the hierarchy: Agioi Anargyroi (formerly Zouraina), Agrianoi, Gkoritsa, Kallonē, Kefalas, Platana, Skoura and Chrysafoi. The population for the 2001 census can therefore be transferred from the old to the new system without loss of accuracy, but that of Sparti, which has different Municipal Units under the new system, cannot be. The population of Therapnes in the 2001 census, conducted by the Ministry of the Interior, was 3,062.
Little child , I have found
If I stood up and looked around
I'd see a brand new face staring right back at me
I believe , I am sure
That I'm taller then I was before
Building a brand new bridge into sincerity
But it's the times like this , we must learn to grow
Throw a penny for my children , they are going down
When the light shines down much brighter , many souls are found
And can't believe what they're saying in the overground
Throw a penny for my children going down
Listen to the wise man as he breathes
He's really loving me (loving me)
He must be loving me (loving me)
At night I turn my face into the wind
And I whisper secretly , what means the most to me
And bring him close
Make it bad , make it good
Make it easy to be understood
I see a velvet day breaking across the sky
I believe , I am sure
I am taller then I was before
Building a brand new bridge
I know I'm gonna try
But it's the times like this , we must find out why
Throw a penny for my children they are going down
When the light shines down much brighter , many souls are found
And I can't believe what they're saying in the overground
Throw a penny for my children going down
Throw a penny for my children , for my children going down
Throw a penny for my children , for my children going down
Throw a penny for my children , for my children going down
