"Gentle Asclepius, the craftsman of new health for weary limbs and banisher of pain, the godlike healer of all mortal sickness." — Pindar, Pythian Ode, 5th century B.C. The origins of healing in Europe can be traced to the Sanctuary of Asclepius at Epidaurus, where music and the lyre played a key role. This holy site dates back to the 2nd millennium BC and was used for ceremonial medical practices. Additionally, in the 8th century BC, it became associated with the cult of Apollo. This healing music was composed using two fundamental blocks of ancient world music: the ancient lyre of Apollo and several ancient Greek modes. ⚫ Find the perfect lyre for you at https://luthieros.com/ 🔵 Learn how to play the lyre and other ancient musical instruments at https://lyreacademy.com/choose-your-n...
