Ancient Greece Music · A Night at the Oracle of Delphi · Relaxing instrumental music · Ambient

Ancient Greek music for sleep, study and reading: 1 hour 14 minutes of solo lyre, kithara and barbiton through one moonlit night at the Oracle of Delphi. Slow, soft plucked strings in the old Greek modes. Relaxing instrumental music with no vocals, no drums and no sudden changes: it stays in the background while you meditate, write, unwind after a long day or run a tabletop game set in the ancient world. ✦ The story A young traveller climbs to Delphi by night with one question for the Oracle of Apollo. I. Lights on Parnassus — far above the valley road, the sanctuary glows with torches. II. The Castalian Spring — she rests and washes at the sacred spring. III. The Sacred Way — she climbs between the treasuries and the cypresses. IV. The Closed Doors — the temple is shut, and she waits on the steps all night. V. The Adyton — the doors open, and the Pythia speaks through the smoke. VI. Dawn over the Theatre — laurel in hand, she sees a ship waiting in the gulf. ✦ Chapters 00:00 I · The Road Below the Mountain 03:12 I · Night on the Slope 06:45 I · Low Strings of Apollo 10:09 II · The Castalian Spring 13:16 II · Water from the Lion's Mouth 19:14 II · Moon over the Basin 23:38 III · The Sacred Way 26:49 III · Treasuries in the Dark 30:27 III · Under the Cypresses 36:26 IV · Before the Bronze Doors 40:37 IV · Night over the Phaedriades 44:28 IV · Waiting on the Steps 48:27 V · The Adyton 52:35 V · The Voice of the Pythia 58:02 V · Laurel and Smoke 1:02:16 VI · Dawn over the Theatre 1:05:29 VI · The Ship in the Gulf 1:08:42 VI · Where the Answer Leads 🔔 Subscribe for a new world to fall asleep in every week or two:    / @museatrest   #ancientgreekmusic #lyremusic #sleepmusic
