I'm a Classics major (study of the ancient Greeks and Romans) and I've been noticing that Enhypen's story line has a LOT of the same themes as the Greek god Apollo, so here I am compiling them all for you guys! Long post, but I'm starting off with this chart summarizing the symbols of Apollo. Italicized are the ones Enhypen has already referenced, often with (timestamped!) links, and crossed out are the ones they definitely haven't. I left in normal text things that I think Enhypen could very easily work into the story line. Brackets mean it's specifying something about Apollo; parentheses about Enhypen. For the paragraph text afterwards, I think the most important bits are the three shorter sections at the end, whereas the first three long sections are how in-depth myths of Apollo relate to Enhypen. Enjoy :)

My clarinet lyre is preventing my left hand c from sealing all the way, and makes it a lot harder to play. Is there anything I can do about this?
I just tried browsing this sub while sorting by new, and it gets kind of boring after seeing the 100th post with a lyre song in a row, shouldn’t there be a megathread for this or something?
Ok so I KNOW that there's a ton of people asking similar questions but I can't find my exact one. I'm buying a lyre with 24 strings. Can I expect to play the same music as a harp that doesn't have levers/pedals? Can I use harp technique on it?
The one I'm getting is a bean shaped lyre like the cega, just more strings, so i do think I should be able to put my other hand around the back for most notes (or at least from G3 to F5). The range is from like D3 to F6 which seems really good.
I have a 10 string lyre, I'm not savvy with musical stuff really, but it's strung e d c A# A G F E D C. I really love it, it sounds amazing, and it was around $200. However, I feel very limited in the music I can play. I'm not sure if it's just because I'm new to music and don't understand much but I'm often unable to replicate songs because I only have one of many notes. For example, songs with high and low g's or b's. Is there any way to remedy this? Thank you !
Hello! It has recently gotten into my brain that I would like to learn to play lyre. Can anyone give recommendations on what variation (number of strings, wood used) of the instrument would be good for me to purchase? Additionally, where to purchase? Feel free to include links.
Some background: I can read sheet music proficiently (~17 years piano experience) and have minor experience in a stringed instrument (~5 years with a ukulele). I am not looking for anything outrageously expensive, but I also don't want a cheap thing that sounds weak or will break under normal conditions.
I have found a lot of internet results for mahogany lyres priced around $60-$70, but I have no frame of reference as to whether that is good/bad in price or quality. Additionally, the ones I've seen had had a wide range in the number of strings from 6 all the way up to 16.
I welcome all input in my quest for the acquisition of a lyre!
Thanks!
