Music by Farya Faraji, including sampled improvisations from musicologists specialised in Ancient Greek music. Keep in mind that though aspects of this song very much emulate the sound of Ancient Greece's music, it is by no means meant to be a reconstructive work representative of the era's music (as evidenced by the copious use of the Bouzouki and Sazi, instruments that appeared more than two thousand years later in Greece), and has more in common with modern Greek folk. All in all though, it's first and foremost an "epic" style song, something along the lines of film soundtracks-the point here isn't to emulate Ancient or modern Greek music in a totally accurate manner. The basis of this piece was inspired by a passage I read about Ancient Greek music, describing how Spartan soldiers would advance in battle to the sound of the auloi pipes, the instrument heard in the very beginning of the tune:
"Thucydides describes the Spartans advancing to battle 'slowly, to the music of many pipers, as is their established custom, not for religious reasons but so that their approach should be even
and rhythmical and their line not broken, as tends to happen with large forces as they come forward'. Plutarch develops the picture further. When their battle-line was ready drawn up, with the enemy looking on, the king would slaughter the nanny-goat, giving the word for everyone to put on wreaths and telling the pipers to pipe the Castor tune, while he gave the lead in the marching paean. It was a solemn and terrifying sight to see them, stepping in time to the pipe, with no split in their line and no disturbance in their spirits, calmly and cheerfully following the music into mortal danger." - Hudba

That's just about the most epic and terrifying thing I've heard all day. To think Spartans were such badasses lol
This is so similliar to our music in Iran
No wonder persians and greeks faught All the time
They say the closer you are the more you fight much like siblings
Love to all greeks🇬🇷
In Zarathustra's teachings you'll find much the same thing; that Love and Hate are manifestations of the same phenomenon.
Zoroastrianism is the progenitor of abrahamic religions!
From what I recall, the legendary Greek general Xenophon loved Cyrus the Great, saw him as a role model for rulers everywhere.
Well, we have the misconception that Greeks are "western-like" because of Rome and Iran is "middle-eastern like" because of Islam, when in fact, Ancient Greece and Ancient Iran were more similar than we think.
Some of the old turkish songs sound like that too
A Persian singing for Sparta
This is a certified Peloponessian War all time classic moment
he's not singing though
this is like when persia funded sparta to rebel against the macedonians
@@SnafuWT And to buy a fleet...

it is true that we Persians were under Greek rule for many years but before that greece was also under Persian power for many years

Much love to Greek and Persian brothers….from an Armenian.
AS A GREEK, THE FIRST TIME I LISTENED TO IT WITHOUT CLICKING IT I THOUGHT I WAS IN MY VILLAGE AWAY FROM THE CITY, THANK YOU FARAJI!

Strabo mentions (source: Geographical IA, Kaktos Publications "THE GREEKS"):
"Here is the ancient history of this people (meaning the Armenians).
Jason, during the Argonautic campaign, starting from Pagases (today's Volos), crossed the Aegean Sea, crossed the Hellespont, crossed the Black Sea and reached Colchis.
From there, having with him the Thessalian hero Armenos, he proceeded to the Caspian sea. He toured all of Iberia, as well as much of Armenia and Media.
Armenos came from the city of Armenio, on Lake Voibida (Karla), between Feres (Velestino) and Larissa.
He left the name in Armenia.
Bless you brother

Well both Sparta and Rome are militaristic so nothing wrong
My Great Grandmother was Greek, I definitely need to learn more about the History of Greece, Especially Modern Greece,Great Music Farya! You are a master!
Beautiful song......
Love from România 🙏
*This is my favorite type of Greek music! I clearly hear the bouzouki and harp in it. There's other instruments in the background I can't make out. Not sure if it's a clarinet or some type of flute... Please help!*
At the beginning, the instrument I used is the diaulos, it's these double-headed flutes you can often see on Ancient Greek pottery. Then around the 1:00 mark, it's indeed a flute you hear, I just used a basic traditional village flute
Yes it's my new heavy weights gym song now. Greetings from Iraq 🇮🇶 ❤
I took a hike in Sparta today and had this playing on repeat in my earphones. 10/10 Great experience Lol
Half Greek/Albanian here and my dna scores 95% Greek.
I’m proud being Spartan/Illyrian!

Illirians were Greek tribe, modern day Albanians are ethic Turk-Slaves and don't have to do anything Illirians
Very based, you have a very rich and proud heritage.
I wonder how you feel when you see Greeks and Albanians fighting online.
@@aarengraves9962 Seeing them fighting online shows how brainless they are. My people from 🇬🇷🇦🇱 both sides that I know, love and respect each other and that’s what matters to me. Thank you I appreciate and yes I’m very proud

Really fascinated by your work!!
You are indeed blessed by the Muses!
Many greetings from the shades of mount Taygetus!
Thanks alot Stefano! I just came back from Greece and visited the villages around Spárti for a few days! Where in the region are you from?
I hope you enjoyed your stay in Greece! I'm from a town called Areopolis but lived most of my life in Canada. Unfortunately this region of Greece isn't as much "rich" in sights as the rest but Pausanias in Laconica and Plutarch are excellent narrators, so you get a good idea about the people, the land and the myths.
@@stefanokosto1515 So you're from Mani! I was in Areopolis for a few days and visited all of Mani, and went deep into the south down to the lighthouse of Tainaro. I actually enjoyed Mani the most: it was so quiet with no tourists and not much urban development at all, everything was still old and traditional, especially down south--it's the quietest place I've ever been too. I fell in love with the stillness of the place, as well as the particular accent haha
@@faryafaraji I am glad you liked it!! So you went all the way down south to Tainaro! Hope you create a tune sometime for the fabled "Gates of Hades" and visit us again for more inspiration, no need to go to Mykonos!
I hope one day to come here in my place Macedonia (and Macedonia is Hellenic)
Strong and nice...go on ..thank you!!!
Thanks alot, Σ' ευχαριστώ!

Fascinating!!.. 🔥
I really wonder, is this pure Greek music?
Despite that I'm not an expert at all, I think I can recognize many types from many different cultures!
This is pretty much just Greek music yes; it’s slightly augmented for a more “epic” feel but culturally it’s Greek music from different regional traditions, and mixed with Ancient Greek aspects. The similarities with other cultures are simply due to the fact that Greece’s music is very similar to other ones in the region, like Bulgarian, Turkish, Serbian Arabic etc :)
