Chariots of Fire, the film about honorable athletes who participated in the first modern Olympic Games, whose soundtrack won its category at the 1982 Oscars. For quite some time, the accountant explained details of each of this Mediterranean composer's pieces. What he admired most was his ease and brilliance in creating "heroic music" (a term used by the accountant himself)., sounds that immediately lifted the spirits and courage of the audience, as could be seen in the anthem he composed for the 2002 World Cup, held in Korea and Japan, or in Mythodea, A compilation of compositions he created for NASA's Mars exploration mission. As night fell, and before saying goodbye, the head of accounting shared one last tidbit about his admired musician: In his honor, the International Astronomical Union named an asteroid after him: the (6354) Vangelis.
As we left the office, we couldn't help but gaze at the sky for a while. The truth is, we hoped that by now, Evangelion Odysseys, turning into stardust, may have found that asteroid to rest in its next eternity.
