Abstract

The author of the De musica recalls a popular scene from the fliad - Achilles singing heroic verses on his Iyre - to show what kind of music is appropriate far a hero. This paper provides an inquiry into the compìler's possible sources, taking ìnto account the philosophical debate on anger and on musical ethos in general. The mention of Chiron as Achìlles' music teacher is also particularly meaningful with reference to the piace of music in the so-called enkyklios paideia.
