Explanation:

The Song of Seikilos is a Greek inscription written on a marble column found in 1883 inside a tomb located in the current city of Aydin (Turkey, Asia Minor).  According to the research, it is dated approximately between the 1st and the 2nd century A.D.

In addition, it is known this epitaph was dedicated to Euterpe by her husband Sycilus after her death; and the translation in english is as follows:

"While you live, shine

have no grief at all  

life exists only for a short while

and time demands an end."

Another important thing to note about this song, is that it is monophonic, which means it is composed of a single melody that may be accompanied by an instrument (a lyre or a zither, for example).

In fact, Greek music of these ages was  characterized by being monophonic.
