Comedy’s Criticism of Music

Abstract

The discovery of papyri and inscriptions containing texts with musical notations has aroused great interest in the investigation of ancient Greek music during the last two decades. Naturally the elucidation of the texts was of primary interest; the results were compared with the existing material, that is, the remains of ancient Greek musical theory. A number of scholars of Greek music have contributed to our understanding of these finds.1 The multitude of articles and books appearing every year demonstrates the increasing interest in Greek music--also beyond the narrow limits of classical scholarship--and proves that the research work is not vet finished, but can gain fresh impetus from new discoveries.
