Once again I refer everyone to:
On Music- In Three Books
by Aristides Quintilianus
Translation , with Introduction, Commentary, and Annotations by Thomas J
Mathiesen
Yale University Press 1983
ISBN 0-300-02893-8
To the Ancient Greeks music was not an art but a science; with proven
rules to produce any desired effect from the listeners. Music is an
integral part of the soul, and as such, is a component of the human
being and can be manipulated by external music.
