Any musicians out there? We could use some more Greek songs for class. Our students love using the "body parts" song and 2 hymns (ιδιτε ποταπην αγαπην and τα ελη σου, κυριε, both thanks to the Biblical Languages Center) in our first 3 week intensive. I also tried to obtain a modern Greek hymnal during my last stay in Greece, but struck out. Apparently they restrict themselves mainly to the hymns in the liturgy. Has anyone been more successful? Also, if anyone has a good musician among their students/co-instructors, urge them to produce a Greek equivalent to this Latin song on the personal pronouns. The snappy melody (and even the English explanation and subtitles) make this something students would appreciate and learn from. Check out his other Latin offerings on his HI PAWS Youtube site.

    I too would love to have more songs. In addition to the song of Seikilos (hear tune here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RjBePQV4xE and article here: https://allthatsinteresting.com/seikilos-epitaph), I teach my students the Greek names of the days of the week to the tune of "The Addams Family" theme: Ἡλίου καὶ Σελήνης Ἄρεως καὶ Ἑρμοῦ Δίος, Ἀφροδίτης καὶ ἡ Χρόνου Sun's (day) and Moon's (day) Ares' (day) and Hermes' (day) Zeus' (day), Aphrodite's (day) and the (day) of Chronos.

    The song was believed to have been written by a man as a tribute to his dead wife.

    Some of the NT hymns could be included as well, with made up melodies.
