"I've been really into Ancient Greek history lately. One piece that I came across in my research was the Seikilos Epitaph, the oldest complete musical composition in the world. There are plenty of performances of the song online, I highly suggest you look it up. It's very beautiful. And a little sad, too, reminding of the fragility of life, and how little time we really have here on earth. I felt inspired to a do a little drawing to commemorate it. Also served as a good excuse to practice drawing clothes x3

I hope you all enjoy. The lyrics to the song are as follows:

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

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