Cyprus Anthem - Κύπρος ύμνο

Play the National Anthem of Cyprus

The Hymn to Liberty or Hymn to Freedom (Greek: Ὕμνος εἰς τὴν Ἐλευθερίαν, Ýmnos is tin Eleftherían pronounced [ˈim.nos is tin elefˈθeri.an]) is a poem written by Dionýsios Solomós in 1823 that consists of 158 stanzas, which is used as the national anthem of Greece and Cyprus.

It was set to music by Nikolaos Mantzaros, and is the longest national anthem in the world by length of text.

In 1865, the first three stanzas (and later the first two) officially became the national anthem of Greece and, from 1966, also that of the Republic of Cyprus.
