A new and extended arrangement for recreated ancient Greek kithara, of a lyre theme I first conjured up on my 2010 album, "Apollo's Lyre" - which in 2018, was melodically incorporated into two scenes of Rufus Wainwright's second opera, "Hadrian".

In classical mythology, Zeus is the Olympian god of the sky and the thunder, the king of all other gods and men.

To attempt to evoke the attributes of this pinnacle deity of ancient Greek mythology, I chose to feature the introspective, bold and masculine-sounding ancient Greek Dorian Mode, a mode which in "The Republic", Plato himself advocated that this was the only truly noble and most masculine of all the ancient Greek musical modes!
