First in a series of 5 ancient Greek/Roman epitaphs (= texts on graves). This first one uses the oldest preserved song with lyrics "Seikilos' epitaph" (written by Seikilos, and dedicated to Euterpe, possibly his wife) as basis for a modernized version of the preserved theme. All sounds generated by Roland Integra-7.

Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου μηδὲν ὅλως σὺ λυποῦ πρὸς ὀλίγον ἔστι[2] τὸ ζῆν τὸ τέλος ὁ χρόνος ἀπαιτεῖ.

hóson zêis, phaínou mēdèn hólōs sù lupoû pròs olígon ésti tò zên tò télos ho khrónos apaiteî.

While you live, shine have no grief at all life exists only for a short while and Time demands his due.
