As I said in the video, the Dorian mode of the ancient Greeks (which was later exchanged with the Phrygian by monks of the Middle Ages) combined with austere rhythms was used to prepare for war. The ancient Ionian mode instead accompanied the pleasures, therefore some intellectuals considered this kind of music as immoral. The Lydian mode of the time according to Socrates incited inebriation and indolence so much as he wanted to ban it to avoid inappropriate behaviour in his ideal of a perfect community.
So the ancients used no form of the modern Ionian mode? And modern Dorian was seen as immoral? Interesting. Modern Phrygian, they saw as the best and most wholesome? Is that right?
@@RememberGodHolyBible As I wrote, the modern Phrygian (Greek Dorian) was used to prepare for war. Yes, rigid thinkers considered the music based on the modern Dorian (Greek Ionian) scale as an invitation to relax and enjoy pleasure so, in some way, immoral music. It is possible that the ancients used a correspondent form of the modern Ionian scale, surely it wasn't as relevant as the four mentioned, furthermore Ancient Greeks used plenty of scales, based on a tetrachord which could not only be diatonic but also chromatic and with quarter tones.
Como dije en el video, el modo dórico de los antiguos griegos (que luego fue intercambiado con el frigio por los monjes de la Edad Media) combinado con ritmos austeros se usaba para prepararse a la guerra. En vez, el antiguo modo jónico acompañaba a los placeres, por lo que algunos intelectuales consideraban este tipo de música como inmoral. El modo lidio de la época según Sócrates incitaba a la embriaguez y la indolencia, tanto que quiso prohibirlo para evitar conductas inapropiadas en su ideal de comunidad perfecta.
Come ho detto nel video il modo dorico dei greci antichi (che verrà poi scambiato con il frigio dai monaci nel medioevo) abbinato a ritmi austeri era utilizzato per prepararsi alla guerra. L’antico modo ionio invece accompagnava i piaceri, pertanto alcuni intellettuali consideravano la musica ionica come immorale. Il lidio dell’epoca secondo Socrate incitava all’ebrezza e all’indolenza, tanto da volerlo bandire per evitare comportamenti sconvenienti nel suo ideale di comunità perfetta.
Hey, good video, man. Very educational. It's just a small audio critique if I may. I can really hear the inside of your mouth (clicks/saliva) through the audio when you are talking. You are most likely too close. Distance your mouth further from the microphone, and use the input volume to increase the microphone range if needed. A "pop filter" or cutting down the low or mid range frequency on post production, could help. If that does not work, then drink more water, maybe 😂. Sorry, I'm not trying to sound judgemental, but it is a bit off-putting. Other than that it was a good video.
Thanks for the advice, I know, I was too close to the mic, I made a better recording in the following educational video 'The ingenious origin of stringed instruments'. Let me know your opinion!
Thank you!!
What about the locrian? Thank you for the video!
You’re welcome! I haven't found any information about the use of the equivalent modern Locrian mode in ancient Greek music.

Your mic is way too sensitive, sounds like salivary ASMR
Yep, I was speaking too much close to the microphone...
