- From a production of the New York Greek Drama Company in 1987, Sappho's poem set to music by Eve Beglarian, sung in ancient Greek by Andrea Goodman, accompanying herself on a 7-string lyre. Directed by Peter Steadman.
I'm showing this to my middle school ancient history students tomorrow! It's so wonderful to hear the great works of literature as they may have sounded back then!
This is sung beautifully. Your pronunciation is exactly what I would expect. Thank you for pronouncing the words with the restored pronunciation of Ancient Greek. The tenth muse lives on. Χάριν σοι ἔχω.
nope as it's incorrect one even more that later as heeta and oomeega are pronounced not just as so called long it's just german and english traditional artificial kind of pronunciation
Very interesting reimagination of Ancient Greek Music, very different from the rest. Actually in an ancient mode without the tempered system and with microtonal inflexions. Excellent
This video reminds me of the time when I were learning Classical Greek, especially Plato, Aristotle,and Socrates.Adding these I were learning Odusseia of Homer.That time had passed away over half acentury, but I was a young dreaming man.
This is both beautiful and haunting at the same time
φαίνεταί μοι κῆνος ἴσος θέοισιν
ἔμμεν' ὤνηρ, ὄττις ἐνάντιός τοι
ἰσδάνει καὶ πλάσιον ἆδυ φονεί-
σας ὐπακούει
καὶ γελαίσας ἰμέροεν, τό μ' ἦ μὰν
καρδίαν ἐν στήθεσιν ἐπτόαισεν·
ὠς γὰρ ἔς σ' ἴδω βρόχε', ὤς με φώναί-
σ' οὐδ' ἒν ἔτ' εἴκει,
ἀλλά κὰμ μὲν γλῶσσα
*φωνεί- σας
The last line shouldn't be there, since it's not sung and is actually by the author who quoted this poem in his work "On the Sublime", not by Sappho.
I don't understand why this video doesn't have a few thousand more views, or several hundred more likes. This is a beautiful (and passionate!) rendition of one of Sappho's best works. Thank you for bringing this out into the world. This makes the modern world a better place, just to know that Art exists, Art is being created, Art is being remembered and recalled into existence!
This is beautiful. The setting and pronunciation are wonderful. Thank you for sharing.
Perfect way to kick off Pride Month.
I came from seeing this in class, this voice is so soothing with the pronunciation, i love it.
So beautifully done, thank you very much! I hope that the other fragments will be sung like this, too!
That's a beautiful rendition of this poem. It could even be extremely close to the original!
I am mesmerised
Beautiful, amazing, moving! thank you!
Wonderful, thank you for sharing this piece with us!
Wow great pronunciation! Sappho is one of my favorite poets
Sappho is also (allegedly) a lesbian
@@nevaehhamilton3493yup! she’s talking about getting lovesick over a girl in this poem and she mentions sensual experiences with women as well, she was definitely attracted to women. The term lesbian originated from her.
Brilliant and beautiful!!
Beautiful.
this is perfection
Якщо ти українець, і читаєш цей коментар, пояснюю: Це мелос Сапфо, вірш називається До Богів подібний мені здається в оригіналі на давньогрецькій мові з супроводом ліри. Дуже круте виконання сапфічного ритму, i love it❤
Enhorabuena por el vídeo.
Ok, I'm in love.
does anyone know a version like this on Spotify? I find this beautiful but most versions on there are over exaggerated I find
❤️
Andrea that's beautiful work. Do you know whether it's available on DVD nowadays?
For those who aren't aware: The poem allegedly talks about Sappho's love for another woman, mentioning her jealousy of a man sitting next to said woman. Though there is a lot of debate about this, Most people think its about that.
💚
Bonjour monsieur leger !
Is that movie?
This is absolutely gorgeous, but isn't it phainetai, instead of painetai?
I'm probably pretty late, but in Ancient Greek the phi was simply an aspirated p. It doesn't make a ph or f sound like we are used to nowadays. Same with theta. It makes an aspirated t sound instead of a th sound.
Adam Schmitz
Shouldn't they be written differently?
I think it's a difference in how you say the letter. It's not an f, sound, it's more of a softer version of a hard p.
In English, if you end a work with a consonant, like p, it sounds a little different than it would if the word would start with a p. Depending on your accent, the p in pie, is different, than the p in stop. Say the word pie, and stop, and examine the differences in phonetics between those two same letters, said in a different word.
This said, I don't know which is the right way to write this word in question :)
@@AdamSchmitz what you are saying is particularly the case for Aeolian. No spiritus asper in this dialect.
@@andreasc5433 Yeah there was no spiritus asper there were however the consonants Φ Θ Χ which were pronounced f θ x. The aspirate value is pure conjecture and doesnt even hold water:

When you’re so gay you pass out
For real though this is awesome!
does anyone know which book this is from?
Sappho
Fragment 31
This is from Book 1 of the Alexandrian edition of Sappho's poems.
The title should be spelled Phainetai, since the first letter is a phi and not a pi.
Is this hypophrygian, diatonic genus?
v. l.
καδ δε μ'ἴδρως κακχέεται ...
It is "Phainetai", not """Painetai""", F!F!F! for Sappho's sake! "It seems to me that that Man
is equal to the Gods..." A Greek friend, Demetrios Maniates.
What language is it ? Cause if it is ancient greek me that is from greece i didnt understand a thing. This isnt ancient greek ..
Είναι Ειρήνη...είναι η αρχαία αττική διάλεκτος του χρύσου αιώνα. Δεν μας μαθαίνουν στο σχολείο καν την υπαρξή της, αλλά σε όλα τα άλλα πανεπιστήμια του κόσμο (σχεδόν) τα αρχαία ελληνικά διδάσκονται με αυτή την προφορά. Αν έχεις απορίες μπορώ να σου εξηγήσω πως περίπου τα προέφεραν
Όχι ευχαριστώ,την πήρα την απάντηση μου και δεν θέλω να το συνεχίσω . Έχεις την άποψη σου άσε με να έχω την δική μου
@@r3naki δεν είναι η άποψη μου...έχω κάνει έρευνα κοντα 6 μήνες τώρα, γιατι και εγώ όταν πρωτοάκουσα αυτή την προφορά πίστεψέ με μου πήρε αρκετές εβδομάδες μέχρι να την αποδεχτώ.
This is Aeolic Ancient Greek, pronounced with the reconstructed pronunciation for Sappho's time.
@@s.papadatos6711και στα ελληνικά πανεπιστήμια έτσι είναι η προφορά των αρχαίων;
