You
think you love music? You have nothing on the Ancient Greek obsession.
Every aspect of Greek life was punctuated by song: history, poetry,
theater, sports and even astronomy. In fact, music was so
important to Greek philosopher Plato that he claimed the music we listen
to directly affects our ethics. Tim Hansen wonders what Plato might
have to say about the music we listen to today.
Think of a topic or discipline not overseen by one of the Muses. It could be a science, a school subject, a genre of literature or anything else that we use in our lives to understand the world around us. Write a song that could be used to teach someone about the subject.
