Music in Plato’s Republic
“[A ruler] must beware of changing to a new kind of music, for the change always involves far-reaching danger. Any alteration in the modes of music is always followed by alteration in the most fundamental laws of the state.”

Compare Kong Fuzi
. . . we must discriminate sounds in order to know the airs; the airs in order to know the music; and the music in order to know [the character of] the government. Having attained to this, we are fully provided with the methods of good order. (Book of Rites, Sixth Century BCE)

Compare Kong FuziKong Fuzi is said to classify music into two types:
-- positive music (shi yin, proper sound), with attributes of harmoniousness, peacefulness, and appropriateness, is an important educational tool capable of inspiring virtue and appropriate attitudes [The Ancient Greeks would call it Apollonian]
-- negative music (chi yue, extravagant music), with attributes of inappropriate loudness (like thunder and lightning) and wanton noisiness, stimulated excessive and licentious behavior [Dionysian!]

Greek history - it’s a story• Roots & borrowings in other cultures (Egyptian, Persian)
• It is a MYTH in the sense that it is an often repeated story – it is the story that Europe told about itself to itself
• Each era has its own way of appropriating and re-using different parts of this myth
