Michael Levy | The Yearnings of Pothos (Ancient Greek God of Sexual Longing) @MichaelLevyMusic | Uploaded January 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.

Pothos was the ancient Greek god of sexual longing & yearning. He was one of the winged love-gods known as Erotes. His brothers Eros ("love") and Himeros ("desire") were the sons of Zephyr, the westerly wind.
To musically evoke the eternal yearning of Pothos, this track features the distinctively yearning quality of the ancient Greek Phrygian Mode (misnamed the 'Dorian' mode in the Middle Ages, this mode features the conjunction of 2 tetrachords which form the equivalent intervals as D-D on the white notes of the piano; but heard here, in the much purer, focussed intervals, more authentically tuned in the just intonation of antiquity).
In my ongoing efforts to create a 'New Ancestral Music' genre (reintroducing the recreated ancient lyre, ancient modes and pure musical intonations back into the modern musical world), I have attempted to enhance the already distinctively dreamy quality of my recreated lyre with a smattering of subliminal dreamy effects, subtly added into specific phrases during the mixing process of this track, with dreamy reverb sampled from an actual cathedral.
