  1. The Muses were a group of goddesses that were said to spark inspiration. There are usually 9 muses that all had a specialty in different types of creative skills. Yes, music does play a part in my life. I listen to it all the time. It seems to calm my nerves before a game or helps me get out of a bad mood. One connection between our society and the ancient Greeks society, is that music was used all the time and they thought some music was bad for us. In today's world, some people look at kids who listen to rap music and think they are bad kids because they think rap music influences people in a bad way.

  5. 1.) A group of nine goddesses that gave civilians their inspiration for creation.
    2.) Everyday you hear different kinds of music all around you; varying from commercial jingles or something playing on the radio.
    3.) That Plato was very concerned that certain kinds of music would invoke violence within youths and wanted everyone to avoid it, This is similar to how the radio would censor some songs or put labels to show it's inappropriate for parents.

    well some of our words come from ancient Greece, music and harmony. Also they use music to tell some sort of story, like many songs today.

  12. 1.The nine Muses were Gods or Goddess who gave artist, philosophers and individuals the necessary inspiration for creation. 2.Music personally doesn't play a huge role in my life. Every now and then i will listen to it. 3.When the video explained ethos is when i connected it to our society. The movie Straigh out of Compton just came out. Clearly during that time there music affected people and started massive riots. Clearly what we listen to can affect our ethos.

  15. The muses, also known as mouses in Greek were goddess that gave artist, philosopher and many other individuals inspiration for the work and creations they made later in the future. Yes, music plays a huge part in my life, I use it whenever i do my homework. I use it whenever I don't feel like talking to anyone else at that time, I even use it before my games on the bus and while I am warming up. One connection could be how The Greeks and Our society both use music as inspiration to do many things, specially make new ideals for the world.
