Civ 6 Greek Pericles&Gorgo Theme music FULL

[@MugginMugga]

Imagine if the guy who had this song engraved on his tomb stone, so very long ago, was able to hear it now. That now it is the oldest complete musical composition in existence, and is being listened to by millions upon millions of people at every corner of the earth. Not to mention the full orchestral versions of the piece that have been composed. If that's not an awe-inspiring example of culture, I don't know what is.

It's thought that this song was dedicated by Seikilos to his wife. The column placed at the tomb states: "I am a tombstone, an image. Seikilos placed me here as a long-lasting sign of deathless remembrance" Everytime I read "deathless remembrance" I get chills by just thinking this song, memory and message has lasted over two thousand years

[@andrewpestotnik5495]

Historians debate whether it was to his wife or his son

[@morty908]

​@@andrewpestotnik5495 Wiki on the epitaph says the debated translations are "Seikilos to Euterpe" or "Seikilos, son of Euterpe". The first is the interpretation that the epitaph is possibly a dedication to Seikilos' wife and the second is the interpretation that the epitaph is possibly a dedication to Euterpe the Muse of music, not his son.

We speak different languages with people living 2000 years ago, we eat different food, we think differently, we have different lifestyles, read different books, play different sports, have different entertainment, receive different education. But we do share this sheet of music. That’s just more than surreal.

The way the ancient theme starts off so plaintiff and minimalistic and then it slowly builds into the epic overture that it becomes by the industrial/modern age... absolute perfection.

[@MakotoShizumu]

Brandon Chavez That is the oldest surviving melody, but not complete. Only fragments of it were found.

[@Wandrative]

Funny how you have to put three more extra specifying words in order to make it the oldest. One must rather thank the succeeding western civilizations for doing a good job in preserving and continuing its past heritage, unlike how the middle east eradicated it.

@@ottovonbismarckboi9112 I'm not the original commenter but I can convey my own feelings if you would find them interesting. While I also haven't cried, I find it emotional to be able to have a connection that transcends thousands of years. I like to imagine what they thought when they heard this song. I like to think what they loved, what they hated, what kind of person they were, the ones listening to this song thousands of years ago. I feel connection to them because I can listen to the same song they did, a lot of time ago they stopped in their day and listened to this song as well. I feel the same way when I see ancient historical artifacts in person; the connection makes me think.

[@tacomeister4130]

Ironic, isn't it?

[@Lemonidas75]

So many comments that say that Seikilos devoted this song to his wife. It's unknown actually. All we know is that the song was dedicated to a Euterpe. It's impossible to know if it was his wife, daughter, mother, sister, - or even the one of the nine muses, Euterpe who was presiding over music. It seems that as a song it follows the Epicurus philosophy though. Asks the listener to live life to the fullest since death is the end of all things. There's nothing after death, so live life while you can. It could have been dedicated to his wife though. It's a nice thought. 😀

[@Spheronic]

Perhaps in this song we can find the ultimate wisdom. Live.

Sorcery.

[@Sailorcrispy1]

The story goes that he had an elongated shaped head, that's why most statues and pictures of him have the helmet sitting on top. It's just to hide the unusual look of his head. I guess they thought it was a respectful thing to do for someone who important in Greek history instead of people pointing and going "lol"
