Description
Seikilos Epitaph ✦ The 2,000 years old song from Ancient Greece | extended ambient version
The Seikilos Epitaph is the oldest complete musical composition known, inscribed on a stele from around the 1st or 2nd century CE. Its lyrics emphasize the ephemeral nature of life and the importance of cherishing the present, making it a profound piece for themes of reflection, remembrance, and philosophical contemplation.

My rendition of this song, is inspired by the ancient artifact and other existing interpretations of it, and it does not try to convey any historical accuracy. I really hope you enjoy it and reflect on the meaning of the lyrics: "As long as you live, let the world see you, and don't make yourself miserable; life is short, and Time demands his due"
ΟΣΟΝ ΖΗΣ ΦΑΙΝΟΥ, ΜΗΔΕΝ ΟΛΩΣ ΣΥ ΛΥΠΟΥ.
ΠΡΟΣ ΟΛΙΓΟΝ ΕΣΤΙ ΤΟ ΖΗΝ, ΤΟ ΤΕΛΟΣ Ο ΧΡΟΝΟΣ ΑΠΑΙΤΕΙ.
