“The Questioning of Coeus” – another new composition, for the recreated ancient Greek lyre!

According to ancient Greek mythology, Coeus was a first generation Titan being the one of the six sons of Ouranos (Sky) and Gaia (Earth). The brothers of Coeus being Cronus, Crius, Hyperion, Iapetus and Oceanus. Coeus also had six sisters, Rhea, Mnemosyne, Tethys, Theia, Themis and Phoebe.

Coeus was once an important god of the Ancient Greek pantheon, for Coeus was a first generation Titan, and therefore, at one point, one of the rulers of the cosmos.

Coeus’ name can be translated as “Questioning”, and as such, the Titan is regarded as the Greek god of Intellect and the Inquisitive Mind. Working with Phoebe, goddess of the Prophetic Mind, Coeus would bring all knowledge to the cosmos. Later, the rule of the Olympians would overshadow that of the Titans, but Coeus would still be famous as the grandfather of important Olympian deities, Apollo and Artemis.

This piece features the marvellously mythological “Lyre of Apollo III” – a huge chelys (tortoise shell form) lyre, handmade in modern Greece by Luthieros:

Lyre of Apollo (11 or 13 strings) – ancient Greek lyre
