The Seikilos Epitaph is an ancient Greek inscription that is considered one of the oldest known complete musical compositions. It dates back to around the 1st century CE and was discovered on a tombstone in modern-day Turkey. The epitaph is notable for its combination of a poetic text and musical notation, which serves as both a memorial and a reflection on the transient nature of life. The inscription includes lyrics that express themes of love, life, and the inevitability of death.
