“Sarcophagus Lament“, a mystical melody, transports us to a long-forgotten ancient world, where Gods and mortals were living together, fighting, enjoying life, making art.
The song is composed by the world-renowned lyre virtuoso, Lina Palera, and played on a LUTHIEROS Lyre of Sarcophagus, inspired by the “Orpheus Fresco“ found at the throne room of the Palace of Nestor at Pylos, dated back to 1300-1200 BC. This along with the decoration of the Hagia Triada Sarcophagus (dated 1420-1380 BC) are among the oldest lyre depictions in the world! Both portray an Aegean portable symmetrical lyre, decorated with the neck and heads of water birds.
