Feasting with music

Music education was important because of its presence at many of the key moments in Greek life. A wedding procession with lyre accompaniment might be shown on a cup and a skyphos in the Ure Museum. Women and men would play music and dance together at weddings and other feasts, as shown on this neoclassical cast of an ancient gem.
