Glad you like the ancient Greek song.

Just to note: some scholars now think the Seikilos song was not an epitaph, and Euterpe was the name of the Muse to whom he dedicated his 'many-noted' song.https://antigonejournal.com/2021/12/song-of-seikilos/

Thanks so much for reading. I go into that theory as well with my more in depth article I wrote for Epoch Times (link is within article in case readers want to dive more into the story). I love the mystery behind the song and love writing about it when I get the opportunity or can work it into my own pieces :) Thanks for the comment!
