The Seikilos Epitaph is one of the oldest surviving complete musical composition, including musical notation, from anywhere in the world. The song was found engraved on a tombstone (a stele) from the Hellenistic town Tralles near present-day Aydın, Turkey, not far from Ephesus. It is a Hellenistic Ionic song in either the Phrygian octave species or Iastian tonos.
A museum in the city I live in asked me to perform some ancient greek music in a group of visitors. The piece addresses to every classical guitar teacher, performer, and student who would like to enjoy playing that.
Please feel free to ask me anything you consider important and helpful for your study and your performance.
