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

Greece has attached great importance to music and art since the mythical times. During the "Aegean Culture" period from 32 BC to 12 BC, people learned from the tomb paintings at that time that people's music life at that time was mostly accompanied by singing and musical instruments playing songs and dances.

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

According to Kenzo Horuchi's History of Western Music, the flourishing period of ancient Greek culture was from 65 BC to 338 BC, so it was later than the heyday of Egypt's Mesopotamia. At that time, there were songs, dances and musicals.

At this time, the music genres in ancient Greece are extremely rich, including sacrificial songs, drinking songs, wedding songs, love songs, celebration songs, hymns to gods and ode to heroes.

Introduction to ancient Greece:

Ancient Greece is an open source of western history, which lasted for about 65 years (8 BC-146 BC). Located in the south of Europe and the northeast of the Mediterranean, it includes many small islands in the southern Balkans, the west coast of Asia Minor and the Aegean Sea.

in the 5th and 6th centuries BC, especially after the Greek-Persian war, economic life was highly prosperous, which produced brilliant Greek culture and had a far-reaching influence 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 contributed to the relaxed and free social environment, the idea of mutual benefit and the national spirit of open exploration in ancient Greece.
