The Music of the Spheres: Nikos Xanthoulis on the Ancient Greek Lyre and Philosophy

Plato wrote how the education of the soul is based on two things: logos and music. Exactly what this meant is still debated, and music was thought by many translators to have meant "general education." But what if Plato meant exactly what he said? Who better to ask than a musician of the Ancient Greek Lyre, Dr. Nikos Xanthoulis. #ancientgreecerevisited #agr #lyre #ancientmusic #nikosxanthoulis 00:00 Opening 00:40 Introduction 12:08 Sonnet for Lyre #2 32:35 Sonnet for Lyre #1 38:49 Katolophyromai (Song from Euripides) 1:00:19 Sonnet for Lyre #4 1:08:19 Seikilos' Epitaph 1:19:30 Finale 1:25:15 Sonnet for Lyre #3 Interviewer: Michael Michailidis Cinematographer: Konstantinos Kritikos, Adam Petritsis Edited by Adam Petritsis THANK YOU NOTES George Velentzas
