Metopes

Métopes, Op. 29, is a work for piano solo by the Polish composer Karol Szymanowski completed in 1915, which lasts around 15 minutes. It is a cycle of 3 miniature tone poems drawing on Greek mythology. Each of the three movements: "The Isle of the Sirens", "Calypso", and "Nausicaa" features a female character encountered by Odysseus on his homeward voyage. The work may have been inspired by the metopes of the temple at Selinunte.
