My new way of finding a partner is going into the comment sections of playlists like these because I NEED someone who likes greek mythology as much as I do

[esthergreenhalgh]

Achilles come down is so unbelievably beautiful and sad but in the poetic way that makes you want to cry but at the same time have the widest smile on your face. Also Greek mythology is just so weird how can you not love it?

[robynflame]

as a greek mythology nerd, this playlist means everything to me

[ros.an.]

only bad thing about achilles come down is I can't listen to it without wanting to cry, but I love the song so much and want to listen to it all the time too :')

[dazaiosamu]

Well don't attack me but...Am I the only one here who doesn't know much about Greek mythology but love these type of songs and this playlist?

[decknamen]

I grew up on Ancient Greek Mythology tales that my mom would read to me every night since I was born, as she later told me once I was old enough to understand. It was almost embarrassing that I didn't learn of the classic kids' fairytales until I went to school. To anyone interested in listening to music inspired by Ancient Greece, I'd suggest giving a band called Daemonia Nymphe a chance. Their music is the kind that sings to the mythological hero in your soul!

[AkumaTenshi]

Techno...
he was the one who got me into greek mythology...
i really miss him but i hope he is resting well.. </3

[pedromorais]

When I listen to Achilles I feel like my brain is being massaged by the melody.

[alexhutchinson]

Everyone knows
The story of how Icarus fell
But do they know the story
Of how his father kept soaring
Until he reached his destination?
Do they know, he found the Grey
The spot in the middle between the burning Light
And the cold Dark
Do they know, how we wished to fall
To join his son
In the cruel darkness
That often comes after the blinding light
Do they know how the sun called to him
To be higher than the Gods
Do they know
How he had to accept
The brutal truth
That to live
Sometimes you must find the middle
And fly

[karlis]

I love what Achilles Come Down is about. It talks about darker subjects, but it also tells that you don't have to be alone in the suffering. There is always someone out there willing to help you. All you need to do is what you can do, even if that is staying in bed all day.

[cyanarose]

I always play Greek Mythology when I have homework to do. I love the pace and the instrumentals!!

[daniyah]

book recs for you guys if you love greek mythology, but girl power style:
Elektra by Jennifer Saint, Circe by Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller, Ariadne by Jennifer Saint, The Silence of the girls by Pat Barker, A thousand ships by Natalie Haynes.

I've read all of these and I highly recommend!

[equiidiana]

Does anyone understands how much in love I am with Two Men In Love?? It's so beautiful that I wanna cry. That song is THE song of all the times, it gives a poetic, soft, romantic vibe of life around me and it fits so well with the greek mythology vibes
I know this song for months and I never get sick of it and never will 🤧❤‍🔥

[Cllsxx]

Achilles Achilles... He'll forever be my favorite greek god, well... Demi-god. His story in The song of Achilles made me melt like the snow in spring. The way he'd do anything for his lover Patroclus has me believe in goodness and love. The way he wasn't only fighting his enemy for his ego, but for the ones he love. His hope in becoming the first happy hero everyone will admire and his beautiful way to talk. I could talk about that boy and his pretty golden hair for hours. He's also pretty realistic to real life, he's not like the others. He's, different and special. Sometimes, the think of him make me want all of these greek mythology to exist. I wish he lived, i wish his story was true. I'm sure of if he was real he'd change the aspects of life for everyone, i hope people will figure out how much he deserve the attention of the world. I'm rambling in my talk right now, but i cant stop talking Achilles, and of course, Patroclus my dear. They both deserve better.

As a Percy Jackson fan this is amazing! I know they are fantasy books but Percy Jackson made me really interested in greek mythology and i am very thankful for that💖

Friendly reminder, if you like greek mythology you should give the Percy Jackson saga a try, it has so many good characters😊

[KaiIsConfused]

When I listen to Achilles, come down I simultaneously feel like I'm living a Greek Tragedy and a Harry Potter cross over fanfiction. I physically cannot function when listening to this song, that's how much it relaxes me.

Achilles, Come Down (Gang of Youths) Lyrics: 0:00

Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down
Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?
You're scaring us and all of us, some of us love you
Achilles, it's not much but there's proof
You crazy-assed cosmonaut, remember your virtue
Redemption lies plainly in truth
Just humour us, Achilles, Achilles, come down
Won't you get up off, get up off the roof

Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down
Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?
The self is not so weightless, nor whole and unbroken
Remember the pact of our youth
Where you go, I'm going, so jump and I'm jumping
Since there is no me without you
Soldier on, Achilles, Achilles, come down
Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?

Loathe the way they light candles in Rome
But love the sweet air of the votives
Hurt and grieve but don't suffer alone
Engage with the pain as a motive

Today of all days, see
How the most dangerous thing is to love
How you will heal and you'll rise above

Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, jump now
You are absent of cause or excuse
So self-indulgent and self-referential
No audience could ever want you
You crave the applause yet hate the attention
Then miss it, your act is a ruse
It is empty, Achilles, so end it all now
It's a pointless resistance for you

Achilles, Achilles, just put down the bottle
Don't listen to what you've consumed
It's chaos, confusion and wholly unworthy
Of feeding and it's wholly untrue
You may feel no purpose nor a point for existing
It's all just conjecture and gloom
And there may not be meaning, so find one and seize it
Do not waste yourself on this roof

Hear those bells ring deep in the soul
Chiming away for a moment
Feel your breath course frankly below
And see life as a worthy opponent

Today of all days, see
How the most dangerous thing is to love
How you will heal and you'll rise above
Crowned by an overture bold and beyond
Ah, it's more courageous to overcome

You want the acclaim, the mother of mothers
(It's not worth it, Achilles)
More poignant than fame or the taste of another
(Don't listen, Achilles)
But be real and just jump, you dense motherfucker
(You're worth more, Achilles)
You will not be more than a rat in the gutter
(So much more than a rat)
You want my opinion, my opinion you've got
(No one asked your opinion)
You asked for my counsel, I gave you my thoughts
(No one asked for your thoughts)
Be done with this now and jump off the roof
(Be done with this now and get off the roof)
Can you hear me, Achilles? I'm talking to you

I'm talking to you
I'm talking to you
I'm talking to you
Achilles, come down
Achilles, come down

Throw yourself into the unknown
With pace and a fury defiant
Clothe yourself in beauty untold
And see life as a means to a triumph

Today of all days, see
How the most dangerous thing is to love
How you will heal and you'll rise above
Crowned by an overture bold and beyond
Ah, it's more courageous to overcome

Midas (Skott) Lyrics: 7:05

Midas, you've got me thinking 'bout the story
You've everything you've ever wanted
But will you ever get to hold me?
Doesn't it get lonely?
And Midas, you're used to hearing that you're something
Above the ordinary, golden
You wanna be the one and only
Doesn't it get lonely?

But you won't get away with it
No, you won't get away with it 'cause I
I look at you, I'm seeing that you're just as lost as I
Know, I'm not afraid of it
No, I'm not afraid to close my eyes
Oh, how I wish that there's was a way that we could

Always, always live for always
Till we die together
Say you want to be here
You wanna be young
You wanna be my love
Always be in my love
Say that you remember
Feeling the same about me

Midas, you've got me thinking 'bout the legends
You know you'll join 'em up in heaven
But if you stay with me, no hurry
I will make it worth it
Midas, you're like a monument, a statue
No man on earth could ever hurt you
No, you don't ever have to worry
Why do I still worry?

And you won't get away with it
No, you won't get away with it 'cause I
I look at you, I'm seeing that there's something in your eyes
Saying you're afraid of it
Saying you're afraid of passing time
Oh, how I wish that there's was a way that we could

Always, always live for always
Till we die together
Say you want to be here
You wanna be young
You wanna be my love
Always be in my love
Say that you remember
Feeling the same about me

Always, always live for always
Till we die together
Say you want to be here
You wanna be young
You wanna be my love
Always be in my love
Say that you remember
Feeling the same about me

Icarus & Apollo (Ripto) Lyrics: 11:05

Apollo showed me the sun
Told me not to fly too close
Or else I would be one
With the people on the land

Icarus, show me the moon
Point me in a new direction
Far away from you
Avoiding all the aftermath

Daylight shuffles in
Cascading through the open door
And dancing on your lips
Where you held your cigarette

I remember when
You told me you were afraid to die
And then you grabbed my hand
Just above the kitchen table

So, Apollo, bring me back
To the place I was before I met you
And Icarus, lead the way
To where I need to go

I hear your footsteps now
Barefoot soles on the bathroom floor
And on my way out
I told you I would never leave

[amitchell]

To anyone who wants another song that might remind you of The Song of Achilles or Greek mythology in general, try Poet by Bastille!

[spooks]

I have been obsessed with Greek mythology since I was 7, so this is just the best playlist ever. All the other ones kind of sound dumb together, but this one is just ethereal, and not only that, it has 3 of my favorite songs!!! Thank you so much for making this!
