@IMPERIAL GANGLANDIA the song is so calming you don't have any option other than to rest your inner self. To leave your anger, your barbarianism behind.

IMPERIAL GANGLANDIA it’s a joke ..... because this was a civilised society and there were many (barbarian) tribes around then...... I really hope your comment was a joke otherwise my friend your very very stupid 🙁

Nico Gabriel you're probably jealous

@@nicogabriel5667 cry anti greek propaganist

@@nicogabriel5667 Turks?Lol is this rumor even believed by actual human beings?Jeez how stupid is the world these days..

@@nicogabriel5667 Not true, the "Turks" are just Greeks who live in "Turkey".

Eric Huang little did you know that civilisation came from greece

And yet it's not even considered "WESTERN"

Gsr 70 it’s not the birthplace of western civilization. The native Americans were as advanced but we died off to diseases from Europe. Not to mention the “United States” plagiarized the constitution of Native American nation the Iroquois. Respect to Greece but Mayans had multiple megalópolis

Dick Thunder native Americans include Aztecs, Mayans (who had a megalopolis), and Incas. So I can say that they were as advanced if not far better than Europe. I mentioned Iroquois because without them we wouldn’t have the USA constitution

Victor Uribe We wouldn’t have the constitution? Why is that? I’ve never heard of this

It's music, not songs. Songs have words.

I do the same. The funny thing is that the greeks invented academia (school)

***** Only if that's what you already have in mind before studying.

***** i know right? sometimes you have to bullshit yourself into thinking your a millionaire to become one, and/or pretend to be a pyramid builder to build things in minecraft

shechshire we invented much more than that language, art, sculptures, theatres, mathematics, astronomy, philosphy, war tactics, etc

Maybe, because the word 'philosophy' is Greek and the music gets you in a Greek-like vid.

yes!

I'd say it falls more under Ancient but you do you

It's literally not classical music.

@@Stang428 the time in history from which this music comes is called the “classical period”, the post was a pun

@@deathbyastonishment7930 You are incredibly wrong. Classical Period is between 1730-1820. Congrats on looking kinda stupid and then doubling down.

Pitty, I enjoyed talking with you! It seems you are learning ,cause this time you didn't use any nasty words against me! That's progress! Good on you. Mirupafshim!

@Taqifsha Nanen illyrians and sheet

@Taqifsha Nanen illyrians?😂😂

its not greece. Its only Hellas

...which is precisely why I have my obsession with creating my micro-niche musical genre of 'New Ancestral Music' - brand new compositions, but arranged for replica ancient lyres, using ancient musical modes & since 2012, also with ancient, pure intonations!

Finally someone knocks some sense into everybody else's minds!

because you can't have culture, people, societies, and all the rest of it without politics, it's all intertwined. sounds like you just saw something you disagree with.

Because the Government has brain washed us and we have become enemies of our own planet, people and we warship money .

Because it's RU-vid.

Wait until I pull out ancient Greek democracy

🎉🎉🎉 ❤❤❤❤

i've only just stumbled upon this comment and want to say THANK YOU for introducing me to the word philhellene, I've always loved ancient Greek culture and also use it to guide much of what I do, I didn't know there's a term for people like us! it's so nice to be able to put a word to this huge part of who I am

Да-да Я тоже восхищаюсь и так и вижу себя ГОСПОДИНОМ лежащим на прекрасной ложе с кучей рыбы пьющим вино СЛУШАЮЩИМ эту музыку которые умиротворяет расслабляет побуждает и возбуждает размышлять философствовать. Рабы обеспечивает мою комфортную жизнь "да-да надо бы ещё прикупить несколько сотен рабов" молодых рабынь. Уже давно понято сильными мира сего что НАМ НУЖЕН РАБОВЛАДЕЛЬЧЕСКИЙ МИРОПОРЯДОК В виде ЗОЛОТОГО МИЛЛИАРДА !!! ЭТО то что НАМ надо !!!

I think the Aztecs, Incans, and Mayans were better but the Greeks were interesting.

Greek people are the best!!!!!!

When I listen to this music, I wish I was Greek.

Smoothbluehero i think is gift from god to be greek but now our goverment is shit they want to destroy as our history our culture and EVERYTHINK sry for my eng

.. I Love this music, Here is the music and Images I am exhibiting in Athens this January, Hope it works for you...,Born in Stone: Ancient Greek Sculpture, Photography Show

Could you share the lyrics please? I really want to know what the song is about and details.

woven, by three ladies?

"the west"'s connection to ancient greece is a fiction of the renaissance. If most white/european nationalists from today (I assume you are one of these, by your comment and by your image) were transported to ancient greece they'd be revolted by its influences from india, persia, egypt, and the levant, by its cosmopolitanism, by its homosexuality.

Woof woof

Nick Payne unbelievable everything you said is wrong.

@@user-dm5kv9gz8h "You're definitely wrong, I cannot list a single reason as to why but you definitely are."

Yeah me too that music is great for studying..like sitting near to Zeus..;)

invisiblekatie I used the "Hymn to Zeus" song that Michael plays here as an intro to a song that I actually made as a project for my Classics class. It was really fun!

Glad you enjoy my 'new ancestral music'! In our dismal modern increasingly manufactured 'musical' world, music has lost its soul. It is my musical mission to bring music forward again - by taking it back to its ancient roots, to hear once more the unique and fogotten qualities of each of the original ancient Greek modes, now long forgotten by our bland, standardized choice of either a major or minor key... Long live the reborn spirt of the music of our ancient past!

+Michael Levy How do some people say it ain't Anciet Greek music? O__O They're a bit berserk.

Could you share the lyrics? I really want to know it.

@@MichaelLevyMusic love your dedication to this long lost but absolutely beautiful style of music Michael Levy...I'm curious...what brought along this path to begin with? Very neat!!

@@mandismith7498 - glad you enjoy my ongoing musical obsession! Here is my website blog, describing in detail, how it all started: ancientlyre.com/blogs/the_inspiration_behind_my_musical_adventures_in_time_travel/

I assure you, he ascribed greater importance than "simplistic" and "beautiful" to them.

And he would have all but two modes banned 😅

Shane was that anything to do with Plato?

@@jiimmyyy Yes. He very clearly states in 'the republic' that in his ideal society all but two modes (which are useful) should be banned. He thinks sad modes would promote sadness, happy modes would cause bawdyness and drunkenness etc. He would have all chromatic instruments banned and only allow diatonic instruments in Dorian and Phrygian (if I remember correctly). He'd even ban syncopated rhythms

@@shane4018 crikey. Interesting how things turned out in the end.

hell yeah im down lets get it

lol

Throw some water with your fingers on the head of the animal. If the animal raise he's head he have accepted he's sacrifice and you may proceed (no joke this is how ancients were doing it) I tryed it to my dog and she raised her head 😂

No need to. I don't think gods ask for this type of offerings now. Music like this and a personal offering is better.

Uh- genZ here, The fuck did you just say? Sad moment when you need a translator to understand millennials

May we always be friendly nations man!

He I don't know about the relationship, for, politics are harming people's relationships. Greece has never been an enemy. We are calm educated and proud of our ancestors and ourselves. We just despise countries which are against human race and spirit. Armenia is not this kind of country. So I guess we will continue

@Dill Pickle listen mite. That's not true all the parts of middle East from 2000 years or maybe thousand years ago were, Babylonians, Sumerians,Assyrians, Akadians, ancient Egyptians,ancient Greeks come on bro don't talk bullshit. Turks your people as you saying came from Most Far Part of Asia(English article). Turks are not aryan, and that part of your country belongs to Armenians, Greeks and A lot of ancient ethnic groups which don't exist now. We've never heard of you before. What's up with that you think despite being Armenian i must say to maybe some Europian people.

@Dill Pickle I could call you anything you wanted. You want a war? Huh? You want to talk on street language? I am trying to be polite but looks like you fucked up everything. If you don't want to be agree. Don't I don't give a shit. Looks like one day we'll meet each other in another place. GOODBYE MITE. You wanna see a real thing I will give it to you. And It makes sence. You got that. It's our land MITE. You didn't conquered it you stole it. One of the true conquerers in the world History was Alexander Great of Macedonia, who conquered a kingdom but never destroyed their culture, in opposite he respected that culture. You want me to tell you something else huh? You stole our Dolma which Is a native Armenian food what's up with that. That means Conquering??? Conquering means you go someplace, you took it, refreshing and rebuild that place, and also you respecting that people who are living in there, but you fight the soldiers and king but you don't kill the normal people by cutting their head or something else. You Understand??

@Dill Pickle my pardon. That's true but majority makes you all.... You voted your presidents

They didn't create the Western world. Facepalm.

@JJ Ddel Um yeah, because I'm speaking English. Who would have thought?

@JJ Ddel Dude, they're not the basis of the Western World. Why do you think that?

@JJ Ddel I already told you I'm speaking English. You are speaking English too. Are you really surprised that languages come from other languages? Do you think they just pop out of thin air?

@JJ Ddel You named ONE thing came from Greece, which is theater. Greek theater sucks so bad so we improved it.

Hello man. We know . Greetings from 🇬🇷🇬🇷

We love you too Brother

Looking into Tartaria would make it seem that Greek culture, technology and influence spread out across the entire world and looking into Hermetics would make it seem that we actually predated even Judaism and Moses was taught by the later version of Hermes. History has been so twisted so it is hard to say what the truth is

Respect to ancient Assyrian culture from Hellas.

@Joseph Khouri. Assyria is still alive till this day.

@@kingnorthkai you are ashaming your kin, Young one... May time knock wisdom back onto your head

Stella Paradis Why?

Ryan Granato because it is going to be 'helpful' when we finish college and can't find a job in our 'rich' country

Stella Paradis Oh ok thanks.

But do you actually come out of school being able to speak and understand it? Its not like Spanish classes in American high schools right? The only thing they learn is "Me Gusta". If you do actually learn, I feel many people would feel jealous of you, I know I am. Tell anyone that you can write and speak Ancient Greek, they'll think you're an intellectual!

Smoothbluehero Anyone who can speak and understand Classical Greek, Latin or Old English/German and other ancient and Medieval languages IS by definition an intellectual...

True man. Greeting from 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷

Apollo means "Destroyer" (participle of ἀπόλλυμι)

Μιχάλης well that escalated quickly

@@MikhalisBramouell and he was the god of light. so whats your point?

@@mavennicole5936 Lucifer is Latin for "Light-bearer"

Μιχάλης apollyon means destroyer, not apollo here🤦🏻‍♀️ they have similar name doesnt mean they are relevant.

+Ποντιακή εραστής who actually says that?

ranko. vic FYROMians and some Albanians. They say Greece was invented by the Germans and Turks which is so stupid.

Ποντιακή εραστής of course albanians , i should have known it. lack of education spotted.

ranko. vic Well there are some that believe Greece existed so not all of them, but most of them. I swear the only countries that support Greece are Serbia and Russia.

+Ποντιακή εραστής of course, they are orthodox brothers ;) to bad we West-Europeans are not doing it , we just put greece in a worse situation.

Glad you like the 'musical adventure in time travel'! In answer to your question, yes, I am the musician playing the lyre in this video and yes, about 90% of the tunes featured in this presentation were my own original compositions for lyre, in a selection of some of the original ancient Greek musical modes. The remaining 10% or so, include my arrangements for solo lyre of some of the actual ancient Greek notated melodies which have survived in alphabetical ancient Greek musical notation, preserved either engraved in stone etc - the challenge to the listener, is to try and work out which is an original composition and which is an original ancient Greek melody! The coolest thing to have happened since posting this video, is that the Grammy award winning composer, Rufus Wainwright also heard my music and adapted an excerpt of my "Hymn to Zeus" (the first track heard in this presentation) in 2 scenes of his mega monumentally proportioned, ancient Roman-themed 2nd opera, "Hadrian" - and this was a tune I conjured up and recorded in my spare room!!!

@@MichaelLevyMusic Holy heck that's so cool 0_0 thanks for making such amazing music!

how did it go?

Don't make me cringe with these circle jerking comments just enjoy the music

you could have been born in B.C. times and died at age 40 from "old age"

@@mavennicole5936 The average life expectancy was higher than today. You have no idea what you are talking about. 90% of the diseases that exist today were unthinkable back then. Hygiene was incredibly wanted and even more than today while the living conditions were better than those today as well. People were simply not hungry either because feasts by the richer people were held which would feed the entire city.
