The Greeks’ lyre felt like a pulse in the city, a kind of heartbeat that told stories before words did. Every chord, every pause carried an emotion that could change the mood of a whole crowd. In tragedy, that music didn’t just accompany the drama—it amplified the agony and the catharsis, pulling the audience into the same raw, aching space as the actors. It’s like a shared scream that echoes through the streets, making the sound itself a part of their culture, a reminder that we’re all wired to feel the same way. In a world where everything is moving fast, that ancient lesson about the power of tone still resonates.
