PYRA (2021) is an original song composed by Theodore Koumartzis on an acoustic-electric LUTHIEROS Lyre of the Sarcophagus with 13 strings.
The unearthly melody tells the story of the Incendiu Magnum Romae, i.e., the Great Fire of Rome that occurred in July 64 A.D. and was burning out of control for almost three days. When it was eventually put down, two-thirds of the city was destroyed, with most districts reduced to ruins.
As the legend says, Nero, the Roman Emperor, played a lament on his lyre while the city was burning to the ground.
The melody is titled after the ancient Greek word "πῦρ", meaning "flame-colored, red fire." In Greek mythology, Pyrrha (Πῠ́ρρᾱ) was the daughter of Epimetheus and Pandora and wife of Deucalion.

// Lyre of Sarcophagus (13 strings) with Built-in Pickup – Collector Edition
This is a premium Collector Edition replica of the Lyre of Sarcophagus, based on some of the oldest lyre depictions around the world. This elaborate instrument is inspired by the “Orpheus Fresco” found at the throne room of the Palace of Nestor at Pylos, dated back to 1300-1200 BC. The Palace of Nestor is located at the kingdom of “sandy Pylos” in Greece (as described in Homer’s Odyssey), an important center in Mycenaean times. This, along with the decoration of the Hagia Triada Sarcophagus (dated 1420-1380 BC), portray an Aegean portable symmetrical lyre, decorated with the neck and heads of water birds.
This new and elaborate LUTHIEROS Lyre of Sarcophagus has 13 strings, a top-notch built-in pickup, and an impressive bright sound. Its arms are masterfully ornamented with themes from ancient Greece, and more specifically with surviving art dated back to the Mycenaean times (1600-1100 BC). This instrument is ideal for professional musicians willing to awe their audience, as it is a marvelous artifact both in terms of appearance and sound. It is ready for studio recordings and live events, thanks to its built-in pickup. Due to its 13 strings, it gives more than a full octave, making it an ideal instrument for anyone willing to focus on the world ancient musical heritage. Whatsmore, with the use of harmonics and other advanced playing techniques, the Lyre of the Sarcophagus can produce three to four full octaves, including sharps!
