It was good to hear the voices together. I have heard this lovely and ancient song performed many times now by various artists, including Nektaria Karantzi. I have even started singing it to myself!
"Τέλος" here should translate to fee, as in we all have to pay our debt to Time and that is our death, our end (our τέλος). For further reading and relevant to Seikilos' epitaph I would highly recommend Christopher King's amazing book "Lament for Epirus".
I will try to transalte the inrto and signature around the song "word for word" based on the description shown above, because this epitaph is introduced by the stone, the cold tomb of Seikilos wife, a love we all understand and can associate with. An Icon/Image or stone I am. Placed by Seikilos here as a memory immortal, a sign long-lasting... Seikilos (to) Euterpi.
Hello ! your version is one of my favorites :) I love it... It makes travel to ancient times. I am making a video about Seikilos epitaph for my channel, I wonder if I can use some seconds of your video. Of course I will mention you and your channel in video and description. Thank you so much!

Pericles Vasileiou because in order to sing a song you have to do it in the sound of the original language (or an approximation to it) and modern Greek is quite different in sounding than the (classical for sure) Ancient ancestor. For example, the meter of these lyrics is based on a distinction between long and short vowels and thus syllables, and the modern pronunciation does not reveal the real rhythm behind the speech, as the scientifically reconstructed would, or even the Erasmian also. And we know for sure that verse meter did play a role in composition back then.
@@sot11cat The epitaph of Seikilos was in koine greek and the pronunciation was not as far off from modern Greek as earlier stages of Greek e.g. Attic and Homeric.
Beautiful melody this song of Seikilos, the most ancient music in Greece
The oldest complete piece surviving intact. There are much older fragments that exist.
A música mais antiga da Grécia é do século I a.C???? Gênio, pensa um pouquinho aí, faz favor!
@@alxjr5521rich to sarcastically call someone a genius if you can't even reply in the same language
well it is Roman era Greece, Sekilos comes from AD times
Maravilloso
The most beautiful epitaph I've ever read (and heard)
It was good to hear the voices together. I have heard this lovely and ancient song performed many times now by various artists, including Nektaria Karantzi. I have even started singing it to myself!

He imaginado a la mujer a quien fué compuesto está joya.
El amor que en vida fué.
La trascendencia después de la muerte

GREEK MODERN TIMES
Σωραία!!!!
Kι αυτοί οι στίχοι, ξέρουμε πάλι ποσό παλιοί είναι μήπως; Δεν νομίζω οτι τους εφηύραν οι Κονιτοπουλαίοι.... Τους ηύραν....
Amazing performance and sound !

A Modern Lyric To This Timeless Music -------------------
IN A WORLD OF LIES
SOME MAY FORGET
THE WORD OF GOD
SPEAKS TRUTH STILL YET
SUN MOON THE STARS
ALL NATURE PROCLAIMS
THE WORD OF GOD
FOREVER REMAINS
THE WORD OF GOD
FOREVER SHALL BE
ETERNAL TRUTH UNIVERSALLY
IN A WORD OF LIES
SOME MAY FORGET
THE WORD OF GOD
SPEAKS TRUTH STILL YET
THOUGH EVILS LIES
TYRANTS SUSTAIN
SPREADING HATE WAR HUNGER PAIN
THEY LIVE TO DIE
IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME
THEIR CRIMES THEIR LIES
GOD WON'T FORGET
IN A WORLD OF LIES
SOME MAY FORGET
THE WORD OF GOD
SPEAKS TRUTH STILL YET
SUN MOON THE STARS
ALL NATURE PROCLAIMS
THE WORD OF GOD
FOREVER REMAINS

Don't use modern greek pronounce!
Thiago Eduardo and why not?
@@periclesvasileiou8113 metric is totally screwed up and there are only /i/ sounds!

The pronounciation is very close to koine. This is what Greek have been sounding for 1500 years. Get used to it
This Serbian song begins, oh, the sun is shining brightly in the Serbian language, not in Greek
WTF????Is ancient Greek and we have it from the ancient scripts untill today.Slavs have nothing to do with this.
Man, wtf?
You realise that the Greeks start 4000-5000 thousands years counting the proto Greeks and Slavs didn't even exist till thousands years later.
Is this the joke of the century or what?
lol gotta love Balkan nationalism
