Wisdom begins in wonder. - Socrates

A lyre and an ancient frame drum tell the story of a legendary explorer, known as Pytheas, who reached the northwestern edges of Europe back in 325 BC to discover a country of perpetual snow and darkness, named Thule.
This song is an on-spot improvisation by Theodore Koumartzis and Nikos Varelas at SEIKILO Museum in Greece, for a LUTHIEROS Lyre of Orpheus and a LUTHIEROS ancient frame-drum.

🎙️ Who is Nikos?
Nikos Varelas is a master percussionist with extensive studies in various techniques and types of frame drums.
He is an alumnus of the Music Science and Art Department of the University of Macedonia (Greece) and Erasmus alumnus of the Turkish Music State Conservatory (Istanbul Technical University).
He fine-tuned his art with the guidance of world-renowned percussionists, including Dimitris Barbas, Kostas Anastasiadis, Zohar Fresco, Misirli Ahmet, and others.
He currently lives in Thessaloniki but travels all over Greece and abroad to share his passion for percussions as part of various bands from completely different music genres.

// About Pytheas and his journey
Pytheas of Massalia visited modern-day Great Britain and Ireland and wrote about the Arctic, polar ice, and the Celtic tribes. Even if his work was widely known and heavily-influential during the Antiquity, it didn't survive to this day.
What we know about him is only through others' writings such as Strabo's "Geographica" and Pliny's "Natural History". Geminus of Rhode, an astronomical author, refers to Pytheas' lost book with the title "τὰ περὶ τοῦ Ὠκεανοῦ", i.e. "On the Ocean".
