Goddess of song, teach me the story of a hero — Homer, Odyssey
"Theseus and Ariadne: The Abandonment" is an original song for an ancient lyre & bendir by Playades, a music ensemble based in Modena, Italy, focusing on the use of storytelling to rediscover the ancient Greek culture and mythology.
Fabio Esposito performs for us on a LUTHIEROS Lyre of Aphrodite and Francesco Sotgiu on the ancient bendir. The melody is inspired by the story of two lovers, well renowned in ancient Greece, who defeated the Minotaur in Crete and found refuge on the island of Dia (Naxos). There, Theseus fled mysteriously leaving his lover alone behind wondering.
The melody is part of Playades' first album, titled "Ancient Meditations" (2021).

🎼 About the song (from the album's text)
Once defeated the Minotaur, Theseus and Ariadne left Crete to land on the island of Dia (Naxos). Here the two lovers rested, but the next morning Ariadne woke up alone.
She desperately searched for her love until she realized that Theseus had left because in the distance he had glimpsed the unfolded sails of his ship bound for Athens.
An abandonment on which weigh still today multiple hypotheses and a pain that was filled by the intervention of Dionysus who married Ariadne.
🎙️🇮🇹 Who are Playades?
PLAYADES is a musical project fueled with cultural research and knowledge dissemination; a project that was born out of an inner necessity and the desire to rediscover our shared ancient heritage of Greek culture and mythology.
From streets to theaters, from libraries to cafes, every PLAYADES live performance is a unique experience: the place where ancient-inspired music and storytelling blend together seamlessly, and from their marriage, something magical blooms. What this might be, you have to find out for your own by participating in one of their gigs!
Their first album, mysteriously titled "Ancient Meditations," is just the first act of a far greater project. Their live concert is the next act: when the soothing sound of the lyre and the immerging beats of the ancient bendir give birth to an ancient world full of tales, poems, and fragments of epic stories, lost in time and space.
And as Hesiod would say, twenty-seven centuries ago, "The Pleiades plunge into the misty deep*" to rediscover the past through contemporary lenses.
