Himeros was the ancient Greek god who represented desire and unrequited love. Himeros was identified by his carrying a taenia, a colourful headband worn by athletes. He is described in Hesiod's Theogony as being born alongside Aphrodite.

In this piece, I attempt to evoke a feeling of unrequited love and yearning desire, using dissonance and the intensely introspective ancient Greek Hypolydian Mode.
