Spyros Giasafakis - Seikilos Epitaph, ancient Greek music at Union Chapel in London 

Maravilloso

"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".

The most beautiful epitaph I've ever read (and heard)

Beautiful melody this song of Seikilos, the most ancient music in Greece

I've studied ancient greek this is just a blessing, thank you.

Αντε μπραβο!!! Που βγαινουν ολο ξενοι να μα δειξουν πως ακουγοταν τα αρχ ελληνικα και η μουσικη τους.;👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Πολύ όμορφο!

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!

Amazing!

ΕΥΓΕ!!!

😊😊😊😊

Greats from Colombia. Att: A sociology student who listen this song when reads historys of clasic age

Ωραία

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

BEAUTIFUL❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

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.

Wonderful!

How beautiful the Greek language sounds.

I love this vid bc I can understand the lyric now thnx 👍🏻

This is really good well done

Amazing performance and sound !

... χορέψετε, χορέψετε ... ... τούτη γή πού τήν πατούμε όλοι μέσα θέ νά μπούμε ... GREEK MODERN TIMES

This Serbian song begins, oh, the sun is shining brightly in the Serbian language, not in Greek
