They have you anime twat.

Poetry and music were one and the same in ancient Greece. Homer epics were meant to be recited accompanied by a harpist playing.

has anyone tried stretching strings over a hollow wooden box and plucking them to produce sound? the length of the string could even be adjusted to change the pitch

amazing why hasn't anyone thought of this yet???

>>73909767
yeah but Homer wasn't a real person so you can't really say he tried it

>>73908116
