Antique was a Swedish-Greek singing duo consisting of Helena Paparizou (Έλενα Παπαρίζου; born 1982) and Nikos Panagiotidis (Νίκος Παναγιωτίδης; born 1978), originating in Sweden and combining Greek popular music and lyrics with a Nordic dance pop beat. Both Paparizou and Panagiotidis were born and raised in Sweden by Greek parents. They were the first ever to be nominated for a Swedish Grammis in the category modern dance with a Greek song. In 2001, Antique were selected to represent Greece at the Eurovision Song Contest in Copenhagen with the song "Die for You", sung in a blend of English and Greek, ending with a third place – only behind Estonia and hosts Denmark. This group was famous in Scandinavian countries, Cyprus, Greece, Germany and Italy.
