The Seikilos Epitaph: the oldest piece of notated music in the world.

Posted on October 24, 2012 by Michael Blackburn

SEIKILOS EPITAPH

Hoson zēs, phainou
Mēden holōs sy lypou;
Pros oligon esti to zēn
To telos ho chronos apaitei

While you live, shine
Don’t suffer anything at all;
Life exists only a short while
And time demands its toll.
