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
