Music

• the word "music" → definition: mousikè technè, or "musical art", (included what we today consider to be music, and also all form of art inspired by the Muses, including poetry, dance, comedy, tragedy, and epics).

• Poetry and plays to be performed accompanying songs and dances.

→ Musicians favored a flute called the aulos, the guitar-like kithara and its smaller cousin the lyre, and the tympanon (a hand-drum that helped set and keep the music's tempo) + female dancers → use an instrument called the krotala, or "clackers" ⇒were almost always played in pairs (made percussive clacking noises)
