Sappho’s Hymn to Hera | Ancient Greek Lyre

“To your attendants let your favour blow, Queen Hera…” In this video, Lina Palera breathes new life into one of the surviving fragments of the great lyric poetess Sappho of Lesbos — a lyrical invocation to Queen Hera, wife of Zeus and mother of the Olympians. Composed in the late 7th to early 6th century BCE, this rare surviving piece blends myth, history, and prayer. Set to music and performed on the LUTHIEROS Lyre of Olympus, handcrafted in Greece, the performance captures the sacred tone and timeless resonance of the ancient world. Sappho, hailed as “The Tenth Muse”, left behind a legacy that still moves us today. Her voice, though fragmented, continues to echo — now in music.
