“If we are to preserve culture, we must continue to create it.” - Johan Huizinga
"Télos" is an original song for an ancient lyre and vocals, inspired by the oldest Greek melody surviving to this day, the well-known "Seikilos Epitaph". It is performed by the classical singer Aphrodite Patoulidou and Theo Koumartzis on a LUTHIEROS Lyre of Orpheus.
According to the philosopher Aristotle, "Telos" refers to the full potential or inherent purpose of a person, similar to the notion of 'raison d'être'. It is the "supreme end of a human's endeavor."
This is a live recording that took place in SEIKILO Museum (Greece) during 2020, based on an on-spot improvisation by the two artists. "Shine" (studio recording) is part of the upcoming first album by the PAUSIS ensemble.

// Pausis or Pausa - a secret form of communication
A parallel unobserved form of expression behind the obvious, the unseen point where all obvious forms of communication (dialogue, sounds, gestures, writing) communicate and become capable of expressing something higher than their sum.

// Seikilos Epitaph Lyrics
(English)
While you live, shine
have no grief at all
life exists only for a short while
and Time demands his due.
(ancient Greek)
Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου
μηδὲν ὅλως σὺ λυποῦ
πρὸς ὀλίγον ἔστι τὸ ζῆν
τὸ τέλος ὁ χρόνος ἀπαιτεῖ.

As I remember it, the Seikilos Epitaph was written in 198 bc supposedly by a greek king for his recently deceased wife. It is carved into her mausoleum, and is the only surviving complete song from ancient Greece.
Hi, Rob. Seikilos Epitaph is the world’s oldest complete melody, including notation and lyrics. It was discovered in 1883 by Sir. W. M. Ramsay in the ancient Greek city of Tralleis, and it was indeed found engraved on a stele (tombstone). Seikilos was a poet and musician during the Hellenistic Greek period, and this song is probably devoted to a beloved female in his life (maybe his wife) or the Muse Euterpe.
The original lyrics in ancient Greek are:
Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου
μηδὲν ὅλως σὺ λυποῦ
πρὸς ὀλίγον ἔστι τὸ ζῆν
τὸ τέλος ὁ χρόνος ἀπαιτεῖ.
And here is an approximate translation in modern English:
While you live, shine
have no grief at all
life exists only for a short while
and Time demands his due.
The actual tombstone with the Seikilos Epitaph is currently exhibited in the National Museum in Copenhagen.

Back in the long ago, um, before cell phones... I used to sing like this with friends who were musicians - we'd go up in to the mountains in Oregon and just make music, all night long, by firelight... the trees sang with us and starts wheeled overhead... We used to reach for divine connection and the joy of doing this together was intoxicating :) I see this energy with you two artists. Beautiful.
Thanks for the amazing comment, Valerie! What you have experienced in the past, sounds quite magical and meaningful. We wish you to go back to the nature with the same attitude, once again, and experience the same divine joy soon. :)

@@SEIKILO Yes - I do spend time making music in nature! PLaying a small harp, and the free sky above :) Would also love to make more music in person again, with like-minded humans. Such wild times this last year or two... The music you all make together brings joy :)
Its crazy to me that you said this! I live out in the Oregon woods. My friends, and I go up to a mountain near my house nearly everyday to sing together.
@@kayseeingme perhaps kindred spirits!
I like this duo a lot.. they should make a whole album!
Thank you! This would be an interesting album for sure!
I completely agree with that statement
Yes I would love that album
Here I am, once more, listen this beautiful song over and over again to reach peace inside.
Amazing comment, Esto es Argos! Thanks :)
That was unspeakably beautiful. Just WOW. Seriously, where has this song been all my life?!
Thank you Aristos! The Epitaph of Seikilos is the oldest complete Greek melody to be found on our days! This is a beautiful improvisation on the spot by Aphrodite Patoulidou and Theodoros Koumartzis.
Aphrodite your voice is Timeless ❤️
I do not know Greek well. But I love her voice. Angelic voice.
Hello Arnavi! This is the oldest complete Greek melody to be found in our days, the Epitaph of Seikilos. You can check the lyrics at the description! Aphrodite's voice is beautiful indeed!

This has touched my heart.
Thanks for the amazing comment! :) The ancient lyre has definitely the ability to do this kind of thing, or, as Plato, the Greek philosopher, once said: "“Music and rhythm find their way into the secret places of the soul.”
He is a master at the lyre. Nice to hear it. Her voice is incredible. Great music.
Thanks for the great comment, Dave!

A Modern Lyric I Wrote To This Timeless Music
THE WORD OF GOD / SET TO THE IMMORTAL SEIKILOS EPITAPH
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 WORLD OF LIES
SOME MAY FORGET
THE WORD OF GOD
SPEAKS TRUTH STILL YET
THOUGH EVILS LIES
TYRANTS SUSTAIN
SPREADING HATE
WAR HUNGER AND PAIN
THEY LIVE TO DIE
IT WAS EVER 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
Lyrics Copyright Jamie Corrigan.
I wrote this modern lyric 'NOT' to try to take anything
away from this timeless music. But To Honour It.
