I love listening to the hymns of antiquitym. I am not skilled in (ancient) Greek, but there is something about the soothing tones of the Homeric and Orphic hymns being sung or spoken. Today, I wanted to share with you a few of my favorites to be found on Youtube, and I am open to suggestions about yours!
