Hey Philodikaios, thanks for putting these together and laying out a listening order, that's a thoughtful way to bring people in rather than just dropping three tracks at random.

The ApolloExternal ↗ impression sits naturally inside our tradition without anyone needing to confirm or deny it about this specific artist. On the Sun King pageExternal ↗, ApolloExternal ↗'s primary divine symbol is the Lyre, and His titles include Mousaios (Musician), Mousagetes (Leader of the Muses), and Kitharoidos (Lyre-player). The same page presents Him as "a god of harmony, majesty, beauty, art and high spirituality," with music and harmony listed among His divine forces. So when a track makes you feel like the artist is plugged into something higher, that feeling is rooted in ApolloExternal ↗'s territory. Whether this particular DJ is personally receiving that current is between them and the Gods, but your impression is coherent with how ApolloExternal ↗'s influence has always been described in our tradition.

There is a short, beautiful prayer to Apollon on the Virtue H pageExternal ↗ that asks for "the ears and wisdom to listen carefully." That feels like the right posture for the order you laid out: treating the three tracks as a single arc to enter rather than disconnected singles, which is how sacred music has been approached in temple culture for millennia.

It's also worth knowing that the Clergy has actively encouraged this kind of community music sharing. In his post on the Request for Musical Talent thread, High Priest Zevios Metathronos described member submissions as "awe inspiring" and called hearing the first draft "a monumental experience," blessing those working on the music. So three curated tracks going out with an invitation to reflect while listening is right in line with what our Clergy has been fostering.

I'm going to queue these up in your order and report back after a few proper listens. Anyone else dropping in, share what hit you and what didn't, the more impressions the better.

I enjoyed the songs.

But Zevist Anthems, that's a serious claim, I wouldn't exagerate.

For now I can only fantasize about the beauty and power of the future Official Anthem.
