Ancient Music (extra credit)

Mesomedes of crete was a roman-era greek lyric poet and composer; Mesomedes wrote a panedyric called cotharoedic hyms.

The hymn to the sun is one of the four which preserve the ancient musical notation written over the text. A total of 15 poems by Mesomedes are known.

The hyms of Mesomedes were the only surviving written music from the ancient world.

I already listen the hymn to the sun of Mesomedes, and i think that it looks like opera or something like that, the music of the ancient world is very different than the music of today, but i think it is beautiful music.
