In today's episode we take a look at the ancient world of ancient Greek music theory. From the just intonation tuning systems of Pythagoras, to the microtonal scales of Archytas like the soft diatonic and the enharmonic scale, we'll go deep into the history, ethnomusicology, and tuning theory of the ancient Greeks and see how we can apply some time tested ideas to modern music today.
