💨 Abstract
In Cyprus, a centuries-old lyrical duel tradition called "tsiattista" is thriving, featuring poets like Konstantinos Christou Grilias and Adamos Peratikos who compete live with rhymes and wit, accompanied by traditional music. Unlike modern hip-hop battles, tsiattista focuses on keeping tradition alive rather than personal beefs. The tradition, recognized by UNESCO, involves two poets exchanging verses to determine who is superior, with a history tracing back to ancient Greece.
