Music Info.:
The Seikilos Epitaph (written in memory of his wife) is the oldest surviving example of a complete musical composition, including musical notation, from anywhere in the world. The song, the melody of which is recorded, alongside its lyrics, in the ancient Greek musical notation, was found engraved on a tombstone in the ancient Greek city Tralles, near Ephesos.
Preceding text of the epitaph:
ΕΙΚΩΝ Ή ΛΙΘΟΣ ΕΙΜΙ
ΤΙΘΗΣΙ ΜΕ ΣΕΙΚΙΛΟΣ
ΕΝΘΑ ΜΝΗΜΗΣ ΑΘΑΝΑΤΟΥ
ΣΗΜΑ ΠΟΛΥΧΡΟΝΙΟΝ
I am an image in stone.
Seikilos put me here,
where I am forever,
the symbol of eternal remembrance.
Lyrics:
"ΟΣΟΝ ΖΗΣ ΦΑΙΝΟΥ
ΜΗΔΕΝ ΟΛΩΣ ΣΥ ΛΥΠΟΥ
ΠΡΟΣ ΟΛΙΓΟΝ ΕΣΤΙ ΤΟ ΖΗΝ
ΤΟ ΤΕΛΟΣ Ο ΧΡΟΝΟΣ ΑΠΑΙΤΕΙ"
"As long as you live, shine,
Let nothing grieve you beyond measure.
For your life is short,
and time will claim its toll."
The stele was found in 1883 and lost during the Asia Minor Holocaust (1922). Today it can be seen in the National Museum of Denmark.
