The song "Antonis" from the ballad has been used by the Kurds as musical background in a video showing Kurdish women fighting at Kobanî during the Syrian Civil War. The song was also sung by the residents of Kabul in 2001 as they greeted troops of the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan entering the city and expelling the Taliban. The aria of "Antonis" was the music theme of Costa-Gavras's 1969 film "Z", whose soundtrack won a BAFTA Award for Best Film Music in 1970.
