About this book
Monro, Provost of Oriel College, Oxford, takes up the long dispute over what the Greek musical modes were, and dissents from the view of Westphal that had become widely accepted. The essay follows an article he wrote on Greek music for Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities. Its preface describes waiting for new evidence: the Seikelos inscription from Tralles, a fragment of Euripides' Orestes, and a hymn to Apollo from the third century B.C. found at Delphi. Oxford, 1894.
