Greek music has a long and diverse history dating back to antiquity. It was influenced by both Eastern and Western cultures as Greece assimilated different musical styles. Traditional Greek music is generally divided into two categories: Byzantine music, with its Eastern influences, and Greek folk music, which includes regional styles and instruments like the bouzouki and baglamas. The nine Muses of Greek mythology were goddesses who inspired literature, science, and the arts including music, which was an important part of education in ancient Greece. Greek musical theory included the use of musical modes that later influenced both Eastern and Western religious and classical music.

Greek music is unbelievably diversified due to the creative Greek assimilation
of different influences of the Eastern and Western cultures of Asia and
Europe. Music is an important aspect of the daily Greek culture. It has a long
history dating from the antiquity, during which poetry, dancing and music
were inseparable and played an important part in the ancient Greek´s
everyday life. The Greek tragedy used music as one of its component
elements. With the end of classical and Hellenistic Greek period and the
evolution of the Roman and the Byzantine Empire, Greek music got an
ecclesiastical approach with alot of influence from Anatolia. In the 400 years
of Ottoman domination it was infused by eastern sounds. Greek Folk music
never stopped however progressing and new genres adding to it such as even
opera compositions of Nicolaos Mantzaros, and Spyros Samaras 1861-1917

6. 9 MUSES THE MUSES / (ANCIENT GREEK: ΜΟῦΣΑΙ, MOŨSAI)
The Muses were the Greek goddesses of inspiration in literature,
science and the arts. They were the daughters
of Zeus and Mnemosyne (the personification of memory), and they
were also considered water nymphs. Some scholars believed that the
Muses were primordial goddesses, daughters of
the Titans Uranus and Gaea. Personifications of knowledge and art,
some of the arts of the Muses included Music, Science, Geography,
Mathematics, Art, and Drama. They were usually invoked at the
beginning of various lyrical poems, such as in the Homeric epics; this
happened so that the Muses give inspiration or speak through the
poet's words.
There were nine Muses according to Hesiod, protecting a different art
and being symbolised with a different item; Calliope (epic poetry -
writing tablet), Clio (history - scroll), Euterpe (lyric poetry - aulos, a
Greek flute), Thalia (comedy and pastoral poetry - comic mask),
Melpomene (tragedy - tragic mask), Terpsichore (dance - lyre), Erato
(love poetry - cithara, a Greek type of lyre), Polyhymnia (sacred poetry
- veil), and Urania (astronomy - globe and compass). On the other
hand, Varro mentions that only three Muses exist: Melete (practice),
Mneme (memory) and Aoide (song).

USES
The earliest known records of the Nine Muses are from Boeotia, the homeland of Hesiod.
Some ancient authorities thought that the Nine Muses were
of Thracian origin.[4] There, a tradition persisted that the Muses had once been three in
number.
In the first century BC, Diodorus Siculus quotes Hesiod to the contrary, observing:
Writers similarly disagree also concerning the number of the Muses; for
some say that there are three, and others that there are nine, but the number nine has
prevailed since it rests upon the authority of the most distinguished men, such as Homer
