I wanted to make some kind an ancient Greek song but I didn't know what it should sound like. So I made a mix of European medieval instruments and Persian instruments, since Greece is somewhere between Europe and Persia. Huge epic choirs, horns and percussions also. Obviously.
This song was made with FL studio 10 with several different virtual instrument libraries (EastWest/Quantum Leap, Best Service, Bela D Media etc.).

listening to this while reading Odissea. Hail Greece from italian brothers!!!
You mean Odyssey/Odysseia
Hail Hellenic Empire. Hail our Roman brother.
Eleonora Carcarino
Χαίρε
Be healthy and prosperous
Eleonora Carcarino Just forget that one time Italy invaded Greece.
@@Jeqavy_Wavy In reality , Greeks (Hellenes) of 2 century before Christ , were inviting Romans to help them against their fights with other Greeks (Hellenes) , and they were inviting Romans exactly because they were not seeing them as something distant , but more like cousins. So they were calling their cousin to fight against their brother. Unfortunately.
Greetings from the Island of Ithaca....even now we can feel those winds come from the ancient mount of Νηριτός
What does Νηριτός mean?
@@ashwinmiyer6159 It's a name. In transcription from ancient Greek it's Nēritós and in transcription from modern Greek it's Nīritós. The macrons and the accents above the letters are optional.
Thank you! But what do the macrons and accents indicate?
@@ashwinmiyer6159 Macrons in ancient Greek showed that a vowel would be pronounced longer (macron = long). In modern-Greek-translitterations-to-Latin-letters it's there only for orthographical reasons, as there isn't really a distinction between long and short vowels. However, nowadays it's not in general use. See: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization_of_Greek#Modern_Greek . Accents in ancient Greek showed when a syllable would be pronounced at a higher pitch (tónos = accent mark, pitch) than the others. There were three accents in AG, acute (oxeía) (like the symbol on the á), circumflex (perspoménē AG, perispoméni MG) (like the symbol on the ô/õ) and grave (bareîa) accent (like the symbol on the è). In modern Greek, pitch accent changed into stress accent and we use only the acute accent to show which syllable is stressed. For example, kafés (coffee) is stressed on the é, meaning that the syllable fés is louder than the syllable ka. I hope it isn't too confusing.
Thank you, could understand most of what you have written. Greetings from India, another ancient civilization.
Greetings and respect from your orthodox brother, Romania!
I will never forget the kindness of a Greek gentleman who led an Englishman and his girlfriend on a cross-city walk that was out of this man's way to the only working cash machine on the island. As we walked this kind man told me a story about how the English had helped during WW2 and there was a cemetery dedicated to the joint loss. I love you Greece.
About 15 years ago i was walking near a big temple in Chengdu, China, and this tall old chinese man looked at me as I was walking toward him; we locked eyes and he said "American!" He started telling me about flying planes with Americans in WW2 and was really happy saying how proud he had been to be chosen to fly with them and how he loved Murica. Conversation drifted to Dunkirk and all kinds of other WW2 stuff as the three other people I was with stood there completely clueless as to what we were talking about. He said he was looking forward to seeing his American comrades in the next life and was so happy. He said "soon enough." Then he walked his way and I walked mine. He's dead by now. Good guy. This brought that up.
Did he tell you what they did to Cyprus?
@TK no, they don't. And they even deny when the rest of the world mentions.
@ROMEOS KOUTSOURIDIS τι δεν κατάλαβες ;
@randidog greek terrorist group basically did bad stuff in cyprus
Beautiful music. Greetings to our ancient brothers greeks from Italy. Greek/roman culture, the civilization.

Heil from Magna Graecia! (Neapolís, south Italy) 🇮🇹🇬🇷 My ancestors are greek, the colonization of Neapolís. ❤️
Γιασο κοκλα
It was a settlement not a colony...but we might consider colonising it once we gather our winds together from the trash can
@@music192 It's a colony. In ancient language colony basically means a settlement with no negative meaning.
Vlad Rosé “in ancient language”
@@music192 Which is absolutely OK to use in this context. Another example, in ancient Greek, a tyrant means someone that seizes power in unconventional way without the meaning of be despotic and cruel. When modern scholars refer to an ancient Greek tyrant, they call him... a tyrant, not "someone that seizes power in unconventional way".
Loving the Greek inspired instrumentals, I can almost feel the greatness of an ancient civilisation and its culture through this song.
Now I found the perfect music to listen to while reading The Odyssey by Homer.
+Feokew smith I cant agree more with you!

Omg thanks for appreciating our culture! when I was younger I used to think that people don't care about us and I was like How??? We have great history we practically helped the human being to be where it is now and people think that we are stupid or something.. But when I left Greece and I moved to Korea I met a lot of people that were really excited when I told them I am Greek... So thank you! 💓💓
Thank you from Greece
@@mypeculiarsoul1234 Couldn't have said it any better
Greek and Nordic mythology are the best ever
god of war ;) my frend
It is plain and simple Hellenic mythology, the word "Ancient" before is of course not needed. Also for Scandinavians i personally only use the term Scandinavians cause the term "nordic" which derives from north" can have many meanings irrelevant with Scandinavia.
@@pulemyot1337 I also love slavic mythology. It needs more representation in fiction. The witcher was a good start!
@@7yep4336dfgvvh Agreed. But it has been thoroughly explored. By most modern writers in some way or another. Especially English speaking (but not just)
Still there is a million ways to mix them with fantasy to wield something original I ll grant you that...
@@7yep4336dfgvvh thats not because its so good thats just because it had an amazing pr department (ie spread by fire and sword and shoved down peoples throats) lmao
I am Greek and this is a very nice melody!!!🇬🇷👏🎶

North neighbour from Bulgaria here! Greetings and compliments for the good music!
Who knew a peaceful man such as Odysseus who only wanted to spend time with his wife could be so skilled in the arts of war, deception and ambush? Fantastic music - truly represents Odysseus’ skill in combat, cunning and the Isle of Ithica.
Love from your Latin brothers! Una faccia, una razza!

Great music

Dilean no more brother wars. I'm Italian and the biggest error we ever did was thinking we can conquer Greece. How absurd and ridiculous of us to even imagine. I apologize for this from every Italian worldwide. No more brother wars. Long live Greece long live Italia long live Evropa. All Europeans all whites brothers forever.

The first time I heard Greek music in the late 80s I was at the fair and on one of the Music stages was the sound of music I had Never heard and it did make me stop for a minute and then I had to go and hear this sound that was inviting I ended listening for about 3 hrs.and it put me into a Wonderful place in my mind Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful God Bless✌❤
Greetings from Persia to Greece
Likewise
The Greeks had access to percussion instruments (drums, chimes, bells, or anything that you hit to make noise), pipes, and guitars (although their guitars were smaller and had a varied number of strings). Pipes and guitars seemed to be the most popular since they're in most of the art.
Ancient Greek guitars are called Lyres, or Kitharas (kithara being where the word guitar comes from). Greek pipes were mostly flutes, pan-pipes and aulos (all of which were made from reed, wood, or bone). The Aulos are two pipes that are played simultaneously with each hand.
Greeks are fantastic people! Love and respect from southern Europe.

Like it with the sound of the chorus. I imagine this ancient music full of chorus voices, for they usually played it during holy functions and into theatres.

Nah, reading the Iliad with this in the background hits different 🔥🔥
The most important aspect of recreating ancient Greek music is the type of scale used and the simplicity of technique and arrangement. A simple lyre with voice sound can work providing it follows some principle of scale and tone of whichever ancient Greek time.
This is great! Love it and long life the legacy of the Greeks! That goes for all of them as well! Athenians, Spartans, Thebians, and all the others that had such an impact on our world!
And Corinth and Syracuse.
You forget Macedon
Listening to this music while playing Age of Mithology...

You can say I’m a sort of ancient Greece weeb, you know, I study ancient Greek at high school in Italy at the Liceo Classico, and I really like the myths and all, I also like the idea of discovering how was and how was made the actual ancient Greek music, it could actually be different from what we imagine and what we know (but I don’t know if such studies were made yet). I’m also quite good at traducing semplified (it’s my first year) greek mythology (word that comes from ancient greek “Mythos (with the Theta)” ) and Omero’s tales. Wish me luck for my future studies!
I'm reading the song of Achilles and this truly takes the experience to a whole new level
Currently writing on a Scifi story with a side story taking place in ancient Greece. This music makes it so, so much better!
Proud to be Greek 🇬🇷
🙏👑
This song really took me on an adventure through ancient history.
0:06 took me back to the time of ancient Egypt.
at 0:42 I felt like I was right next to the Chinese Emperor pass down the law
1:02 takes me back to Biblical Israel marching on Jericho
2:08 feels like Sparta and Athens duking it out over the entire Pelopponesian and Delos.
2:49 reminds me of Alexander chasing Dario all over the Achaemanid Empire.
3:23 is like Xerxes marching on Greece will the full might of the Persian Empire.
and then 4:37 is like the Roman Republic and Carthage duking it out over Hispania.
and finally 5:16 is like Constantine in a procession in the newly built Constantinople.
thank you
when you never sleep during history class
Amazing way of ''exploring'' the music!!
@@ahmedchebli9383 😂👍
You didn't have to put the best part of the song as "Chinese" 😢
I'm a Greek. Nice track you made there with FL. The real ancient Greek song comes solely from a harp, a lyre, a bendir and a flute. Those are the very first instruments coming from the land of my ancestors.
Try searching about Eleni Tsaousaki (harp) and Lina Palera (Lyre). Try out those guys from Lyre 'n' Rhapsody.
Good luck out there. :D
Peace from Greece.

Obviously, one cannot claim that that's what Ancient Greek music sounded like, since we don't have any sound records, but it is great music and I relished it a lot!!! Congratulations on your talented work!!!
Yes but when the generations kept playing it it remained until our days , thats how we have it
we have several songs written in the musical scales of the time, such as the Hymns to Apollo
And the Epitaph of Seikilos.
I was listening to this, five years after it was composed, while reading the Iliad by Homer, 2800 years after it was composed. Great civilisation!
