Poetry and music were often used in ancient Greek music.

Music in ancient Greece often appeared in the form of "trinity" of poetry and music, dance and music, or poetry and dance and music.

Since the mythical era, Greece has attached great importance to music and art. During the "Aegean Culture" period from 3200 BC to 1200 BC, people learned from the tomb paintings at that time that people's musical life at that time was mostly singing, dancing and playing musical instruments.

After mankind entered the Greek era from Egypt and Mesopotamia, music began to be studied scientifically; Then, in 776 BC, when the first Olympic Games was held, the music along the coast of Greece and its subordinate Asia Minor (now Turkey) was particularly developed.

According to Kenzo Horuchi's History of Western Music, the heyday of ancient Greek culture was from 650 BC to 338 BC, so it was later than the heyday of Mesopotamia in Egypt. There were songs, dances and musicals at that time.

At this time, the genre of ancient Greek music is extremely rich, including sacrificial songs, drinking songs, wedding songs, love songs, celebration songs, hymns to gods and carols to heroes.

Introduction to ancient Greece:

Ancient Greece is the open source of western history, which lasted about 650 years (800 BC-BC 146 years). Located in southern Europe and the northeastern Mediterranean, including the southern Balkans, the west coast of Asia Minor and many small islands in the Aegean Sea.

In the 5th and 6th centuries BC, especially after the Greek-Persian War, the economic life was highly prosperous, resulting in splendid Greek culture, which had a far-reaching impact on later generations. The ancient Greeks had profound attainments in philosophy, history, architecture, literature, drama, sculpture and many other aspects.

After the destruction of ancient Greece, this cultural heritage was destructively continued by the ancient Romans, thus becoming the spiritual source of the whole western civilization. There are no fertile river basins and open plains in Greece, and endless mountains cross the river to divide the land into small pieces. It is these reasons that created the relaxed and free social environment, the idea of mutual benefit and the national spirit of open exploration in ancient Greece.
