Hey Everyone, Hope you're doing well! Timestamps 0:00 Achilles, come down 7:05 Midas 11:05 Icarus & Apollo 14:05 Persephone 19:15 Aphrodite 22:25 Two Men In Love Which one's your favourite? :) Also, I'm adding the ones recommended in comments to spotify!

My new way of finding a partner is going into the comment sections of playlists like these because I NEED someone who likes greek mythology as much as I do

Achilles come down is so unbelievably beautiful and sad but in the poetic way that makes you want to cry but at the same time have the widest smile on your face. Also Greek mythology is just so weird how can you not love it?

the universal experience of a greek mythology nerd: rick riordan's books, gender/sexuality identity crisis, ancient history class, now this playlist

as a greek mythology nerd, this playlist means everything to me

only bad thing about achilles come down is I can't listen to it without wanting to cry, but I love the song so much and want to listen to it all the time too :')

Well don't attack me but...Am I the only one here who doesn't know much about Greek mythology but love these type of songs and this playlist?

I grew up on Ancient Greek Mythology tales that my mom would read to me every night since I was born, as she later told me once I was old enough to understand. It was almost embarrassing that I didn't learn of the classic kids' fairytales until I went to school. To anyone interested in listening to music inspired by Ancient Greece, I'd suggest giving a band called Daemonia Nymphe a chance. Their music is the kind that sings to the mythological hero in your soul!

Techno... he was the one who got me into greek mythology... i really miss him but i hope he is resting well..

When I listen to Achilles I feel like my brain is being massaged by the melody.

Achilles Achilles... He'll forever be my favorite greek god, well... Demi-god. His story in The song of Achilles made me melt like the snow in spring. The way he'd do anything for his lover Patroclus has me believe in goodness and love. The way he wasn't only fighting his enemy for his ego, but for the ones he love. His hope in becoming the first happy hero everyone will admire and his beautiful way to talk. I could talk about that boy and his pretty golden hair for hours. He's also pretty realistic to real life, he's not like the others. He's, different and special. Sometimes, the think of him make me want all of these greek mythology to exist. I wish he lived, i wish his story was true. I'm sure of if he was real he'd change the aspects of life for everyone, i hope people will figure out how much he deserve the attention of the world. I'm rambling in my talk right now, but i cant stop talking Achilles, and of course, Patroclus my dear. They both deserve better.

Everyone knows The story of how Icarus fell But do they know the story Of how his father kept soaring Until he reached his destination? Do they know, he found the Grey The spot in the middle between the burning Light And the cold Dark Do they know, how we wished to fall To join his son In the cruel darkness That often comes after the blinding light Do they know how the sun called to him To be higher than the Gods Do they know How he had to accept The brutal truth That to live Sometimes you must find the middle And fly

I always play Greek Mythology when I have homework to do. I love the pace and the instrumentals!!

As a Percy Jackson fan this is amazing! I know they are fantasy books but Percy Jackson made me really interested in greek mythology and i am very thankful for that💖 Friendly reminder, if you like greek mythology you should give the Percy Jackson saga a try, it has so many good characters😊

When I listen to Achilles, come down I simultaneously feel like I'm living a Greek Tragedy and a Harry Potter cross over fanfiction. I physically cannot function when listening to this song, that's how much it relaxes me.

I love what Achilles Come Down is about. It talks about darker subjects, but it also tells that you don't have to be alone in the suffering. There is always someone out there willing to help you. All you need to do is what you can do, even if that is staying in bed all day.

book recs for you guys if you love greek mythology, but girl power style: Elektra by Jennifer Saint, Circe by Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller, Ariadne by Jennifer Saint, The Silence of the girls by Pat Barker, A thousand ships by Natalie Haynes. I've read all of these and I highly recommend!

Does anyone understands how much in love I am with Two Men In Love?? It's so beautiful that I wanna cry. That song is THE song of all the times, it gives a poetic, soft, romantic vibe of life around me and it fits so well with the greek mythology vibes I know this song for months and I never get sick of it and never will 🤧❤‍🔥

As a Greek myself, I really appreciate this playlist…Greek mythology is really beautiful and interesting and I’m glad we were learning at history class in 4th grade abt it…wish we would still do it and learn more. Thanks again for this playlist!

To anyone who wants another song that might remind you of The Song of Achilles or Greek mythology in general, try Poet by Bastille!

" I am Made of Memories " - Patroclus Edit: Midas sounds like a siren song. 10/10 would swim to my death. Edit #2 I stand corrected, dear readers you guys are so cool pls let me stay in the club /hj

Ah yes, a playlist that isn't an aggressive heavy rock playlist to describe my feelings ✨Glorious✨

Me, finding a modern song about Achilies This is how i met your father.

I have been obsessed with Greek mythology since I was 7, so this is just the best playlist ever. All the other ones kind of sound dumb together, but this one is just ethereal, and not only that, it has 3 of my favorite songs!!! Thank you so much for making this!

Interact with this comment so I come back to listen!

That moment when Persphone becomes an ancient Egyptian melody that drives u back to the roots

I only knew "Achilles Come Down" And I happily announce you that I now have a lot of new favorite songs !!! Incredible playlist, well down !

My sister has a really bad version of homesickness, which I think is seperation anxiety, whenever it gets to her (I'm talking full on panic atack and tears at worst) I read about the greek gods to her and story's from the Greek mythology. I choose story's with a lot of people with difficult names 'cause it gets her laughing.

Ok but damn... this might be my favorite playlist lol

midas is the most beautiful, well written and prettiest song i have ever heard

As a greek who is passionate about mythology, I wanna thank you so so much. Excellent work.

I listened to this during one of my hardest night shifts at the hospital. It was around 4 am, I got myself some time to read and decided to listen to your playlist. I’m addicted to this playlist since then, and it feels so nostalgic even if it has not been even that long from my initial listening hahah. Thank you for creating this. As a Greek mythology nerd I love this! 🤍

This sound is so wonderful. The person who is reading this comment, I wish you great success, health, love and happiness!

Achilles Come Down got me started on greek mythology SONGS, but then the songs got me started on research and lessons, and here I am now, Favourting Diyonsus and Icarus

Hey everyone, it's nice to see how many people like Greco-Roman mythology! Where I'm from there's a kind of school that focuses on classical studies, so we study ancient Greek and Latin as well as classical literature and culture. It's a difficult kind of school but it's so worth it, to be able to actually read the Iliad or the Odyssey, but also the tragedies, comedies and poems in general. I encourage you to discover what the past has in hold for you; only the gods know how much beauty and how much philosophy is out there waiting to be enjoyed by yet another soul, eager to make you grow, to confort you and gift you emotions from 2500 years ago. Beware though, most myths are quite raw, as they reflect human nature; so do not expect song of Achilles or Percy Jackson family friendly stuff. So yeah, go to the library and contribute to the immortality of ancient gods, heroes and poets; because it's thanks to us, the readers, that they are still alive to this day

Achilies, come up. I want to see you.

I love this playlist so much I've listened to it a million times I always make my best artwork when listening to this

Was listening to this while reading Son of Neptune. IT WAS HEAVENLY I TELL YOU.

Whenever I see a greek mythology inspired playlist I always expect to see Achilles Come down on it. And it always is, but I am always happy to listen to it. Tbh I'd be disappointed in any greek mythos playlist that DIDN'T have it.

I love you for adding Tamino! He is a Belgian artist and his songs are so underrated!!!

Some other cool Greek songs I know of: 1. Cult Of Dionysus (Party song basically) 2. Aphrodite (Club-ish song)

ı named my cat after achilles and listening the first song with my cat in my lap while I'm drawing was the most enjoyable thing today, thank you for the playlist

I love this! Might I also suggest "Persephone in the garden", by Aidoneus?

the melody of persefone by tamino from the very first listening feels like lying on the top of the tribune at the huge empty stadion and watching lurid august sunset. it's calm and tense at the same moment and I can do nothing with this feeling of strange serenity and hopelessness oh-

those are all some of my favourite songs. idk how they're all in the same playlist. awesome playlist. love it.

I've always liked Greek Mythology but after highschool is when my obession with it really hit. Like man, this playlist really hits the part of me that loves music and Greek Mythology, so it's perfect.

Listening to this on my speaker, a candle on and reading a Madeline Miller book is my secret garden.

It's crazy seeing people interested in my country's mythology so much. It is really nice to see people willing to learn more about something that you are so familiar with. I have to study mythology and learn ancient greek at school, and I find this playlist very comforting.

If it weren't for this playlist just randomly showing up in my my suggested I would have never gotten the idea for my first art project in literal years. Thank you.

You may forget but let me tell you this; someone in some future time will think of us. -Sappho

He stood upon the precipice, upon a cliff of dizzying descent with a fall into raging waters and jagged granite spears. Or was it a another kind of precipice? That of deranged lucidity, a paradox, understanding amidst the madness of it all. Blood spattered his form. His flesh, sculpted as if from marble, was tainted by ichor of lesser men. But were they truly lesser? They must have been, they had lost, and he had won after all. Is that not so? He glanced back at the carnage he had wrought, at the tomes of untold stories left behind in the corpses of his foes. "Perhaps it isn't so." His voice was as smooth as honey, salted with the dregs of Olympus itself. *"We liken you to a painting, did you know? Strokes of ink belaying what it is to be so utterly mortal."* He turned, eyeing the green-feathered owl perched upon the rocks nearby. "You again..." He shook his head. "I am no painting." *"Then what are you?"* The wind howled as if in mourning. It carried with it the stench of death, and tragedy... and *war* . "A museum," he replied softly. "A museum of all the things I wish to forget." The creature did not respond, only watching as the soldier wrenched his sarissa free from the rock he had embed it in. Watching as he turned away from the cliff's edge, and walked towards the sounds of ringing steel and dying men once more.

so “Achilles, Come Down” became THE song for me and my first real love and i think it’s especially heartbreaking considering how things ended because we still love each other, but events in life pulled us apart and we both met each other at what we thought was our darkest point…and anytime one of us was struggling we would write “soldier on, Achilles” on each others wrists, and now i write it on my own wrist and wonder if he does the same.

wait...in the first song the talking was in French ?!! as a french person that is into greek mythology, this makes me very happy for some reason lol

I am going to need another mythology playlist please and thank you! In all seriousness, I love this. The playlist as a whole is perfect and I'd love to hear more. I would love another Greek mythology playlist, but I would also love your take on Norse and Egyptian Mythology playlists!

I appreciate that this Greek mythology playlist is not simply and heavily straight. We all know the Greeks were quite the opposite

Thank you so much for this. I just finished reading The Song Of Achilles and I am now lost in a depression because of it 😭 This playlist is helping me process all the emotions that are overwhelming me. It’s like a hollow despair of sadness and depression that I don’t know how or if I will ever come out of.. I’ve had real life crises that I’ve had to go to therapy for and I just cant believe a book has thrown me back into a state that I thought only a traumatic ‘real life’ experience could ever make someone feel. It is so deep and raw.

So much emotion in this playlist, I love it so much, I love Greek mythology and I love art. I am listening to this Playlist while working on the cover of my project and it is helping so much to give the characters the emotion that I needed ❤️ thank you

the best playlist I've ever seen by so far!!

the amount of nostalgia i felt during and after watching this is soo intense oml, i had an obsession with greek mytho back then but fell out cuz of my sched TVT love your playlist

leaving this here so when ppl reply to me, i’ll come back to this playlist :))

This is simply a masterpiece. Officially my favorite Playlist now

This felt so ethereal THANK YOU SO MUCHHH

as a child of Apollo i really appreciate this playlist, thank you💛💛

teacher: we're doing a Greek mythology test. any greek mythology nerd: oh I've got this in the bag. percy jackson, heroes of olympus, and all of Rick riordian's book readers: amateur. nerds: what did you say? uncle rick's fans: I said, *AMATEUR!*

Greek mythology >>>

The only thing I can think of while listening to this is technoblade ranting about Greek mythology, I miss him.

I've been looking for a playlist like this 💖💖💖💖 thank you!

Midas..was one of my favorite songs..so I am glad people are starting to know it more ❤

Just know that this is the first result when you search "Greek mythology songs playlist" at least it is for me

Thanks for this playlist. It feels like a safe place for greek mythology nerds aha

this playlist is so good :,) greek mythology is just so fascinating and calming to me.

i love these greek vibes so much, great playlist!

I've only listen to the first song and I already love this playlist

Achilles, Come Down (Gang of Youths) Lyrics: 0:00 Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down Won't you get up off, get up off the roof? You're scaring us and all of us, some of us love you Achilles, it's not much but there's proof You crazy-assed cosmonaut, remember your virtue Redemption lies plainly in truth Just humour us, Achilles, Achilles, come down Won't you get up off, get up off the roof Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down Won't you get up off, get up off the roof? The self is not so weightless, nor whole and unbroken Remember the pact of our youth Where you go, I'm going, so jump and I'm jumping Since there is no me without you Soldier on, Achilles, Achilles, come down Won't you get up off, get up off the roof? Loathe the way they light candles in Rome But love the sweet air of the votives Hurt and grieve but don't suffer alone Engage with the pain as a motive Today of all days, see How the most dangerous thing is to love How you will heal and you'll rise above Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, jump now You are absent of cause or excuse So self-indulgent and self-referential No audience could ever want you You crave the applause yet hate the attention Then miss it, your act is a ruse It is empty, Achilles, so end it all now It's a pointless resistance for you Achilles, Achilles, just put down the bottle Don't listen to what you've consumed It's chaos, confusion and wholly unworthy Of feeding and it's wholly untrue You may feel no purpose nor a point for existing It's all just conjecture and gloom And there may not be meaning, so find one and seize it Do not waste yourself on this roof Hear those bells ring deep in the soul Chiming away for a moment Feel your breath course frankly below And see life as a worthy opponent Today of all days, see How the most dangerous thing is to love How you will heal and you'll rise above Crowned by an overture bold and beyond Ah, it's more courageous to overcome You want the acclaim, the mother of mothers (It's not worth it, Achilles) More poignant than fame or the taste of another (Don't listen, Achilles) But be real and just jump, you dense motherfucker (You're worth more, Achilles) You will not be more than a rat in the gutter (So much more than a rat) You want my opinion, my opinion you've got (No one asked your opinion) You asked for my counsel, I gave you my thoughts (No one asked for your thoughts) Be done with this now and jump off the roof (Be done with this now and get off the roof) Can you hear me, Achilles? I'm talking to you I'm talking to you I'm talking to you I'm talking to you Achilles, come down Achilles, come down Throw yourself into the unknown With pace and a fury defiant Clothe yourself in beauty untold And see life as a means to a triumph Today of all days, see How the most dangerous thing is to love How you will heal and you'll rise above Crowned by an overture bold and beyond Ah, it's more courageous to overcome Midas (Skott) Lyrics: 7:05 Midas, you've got me thinking 'bout the story You've everything you've ever wanted But will you ever get to hold me? Doesn't it get lonely? And Midas, you're used to hearing that you're something Above the ordinary, golden You wanna be the one and only Doesn't it get lonely? But you won't get away with it No, you won't get away with it 'cause I I look at you, I'm seeing that you're just as lost as I Know, I'm not afraid of it No, I'm not afraid to close my eyes Oh, how I wish that there's was a way that we could Always, always live for always Till we die together Say you want to be here You wanna be young You wanna be my love Always be in my love Say that you remember Feeling the same about me Midas, you've got me thinking 'bout the legends You know you'll join 'em up in heaven But if you stay with me, no hurry I will make it worth it Midas, you're like a monument, a statue No man on earth could ever hurt you No, you don't ever have to worry Why do I still worry? And you won't get away with it No, you won't get away with it 'cause I I look at you, I'm seeing that there's something in your eyes Saying you're afraid of it Saying you're afraid of passing time Oh, how I wish that there's was a way that we could Always, always live for always Till we die together Say you want to be here You wanna be young You wanna be my love Always be in my love Say that you remember Feeling the same about me Always, always live for always Till we die together Say you want to be here You wanna be young You wanna be my love Always be in my love Say that you remember Feeling the same about me Icarus & Apollo (Ripto) Lyrics: 11:05 Apollo showed me the sun Told me not to fly too close Or else I would be one With the people on the land Icarus, show me the moon Point me in a new direction Far away from you Avoiding all the aftermath Daylight shuffles in Cascading through the open door And dancing on your lips Where you held your cigarette I remember when You told me you were afraid to die And then you grabbed my hand Just above the kitchen table So, Apollo, bring me back To the place I was before I met you And Icarus, lead the way To where I need to go I hear your footsteps now Barefoot soles on the bathroom floor And on my way out I told you I would never leave

i found this playlist while i randomly searched for a playlist to listen to while i did my college work. I've never been super into Greek Mythology, but this has made me really want to get into it. i now listen to this playlist all the time while working on my college PowerPoints as it feels very hypnotic and helps me focus.

okay but omg that's the best playlist i've ever seen!! i need a longer version!!!

This playlist brings me happiness :)

I know nothing about Greek mythology but I want to know! And this playlist is amazing 🤩

I love this playlist. I've been in love with Greek mythology as long as I can remember. Everytime would do it in class I was always excited. Tysm for this playlist

Love this, I'm painting a Olympus God mural and this heavily inspired me

Only bad thing about this playlist is that it ends

Being obsessed with the iliad is my main character trait tbh

I’ve always wanted to create a manga for as long as I can remember and I can draw but have never been able to write a story. Listening to this playlist reminded me of my love for the Iliad and I finally have a story now. Thank you 🙏🏼

Ah my heart is soaring! Thank you for this 😍

I also have some suggestions btw I'm a moon children :) 1. blood in the wine 2.giving in to the love 3. artemis 4.the innocent 5.heathens the singer is AURORA

Great playlist

OMG love this

As a greek mythology nerd, this playlist will forever have a tight connection to my soul

Finally, a playlist about Greek mythology has been created

My favorite Quote from "Song of Achilles" from Madeline Miller is "He is half of my soul, as the poets say". If you know the story about the soulmates it hits even more.

I’m not sure why but that “crazy assed cosmonaut” is always so satisfying to hear

I was reading Song of Achilles and this playlist is perfect for it.❤

Currently writing a paper comparing Aristophanes and Thucydides, this is perfect

I came here looking for orchestral music because I love cello music and I play cello, but I found this playlist and I LOVE greek mythology😁

this playlist came up on my reccomended and i absoloutley love it sm. first time i heard achilles and genually my new fav song.. thanks for introducing me to it

All these songs are ethereal I wonder why didn’t I found it earlier I’ve already played it 5 times and my sketch that I’ve been working on turned out great than I expected ✨

I’m not even into Greek mythology, I just love this playlist 😂

have you heard Oedipus by Regina Spektor? an unappreciated work of genius.

I personally love this playlist. I haven't stopped listening to it for about a month now, I mainly listen when I'm studying or reading but it helped me find my new favorite song! (Icarus and Apollo). Every song in this is very nice and you did a good job making this playlist! -Tony Edit: Found this playlist really helps me calm down when I'm having panic attacks, it's like the gentle tunes of these songs is massaging my brain- Feels like a warm hug when it's needed most :) -Tony

omgs i love this playlist so much this is like the only playlist i will write to
