In the four centuries leading up to the death of Euripides, Greek
singers, poets, and theorists delved deeply into auditory
experience. They charted its capacity to develop topologies
distinct from those of the other senses; contemplated its use as a
communicator of information; calculated its power to express and
cause extreme emotion. They made sound too, artfully and
self-consciously creating songs and poems that reveled in
sonorousness. Dissonance reveals the commonalities between ancient
Greek auditory art and the concerns of contemporary sound studies,
avant-garde music, and aesthetics, making the argument that
"classical" Greek song and drama were, in fact, an early European
avant-garde, a proto-exploration of the aesthetics of noise. The
book thus develops an alternative to that romantic ideal which sees
antiquity as a frozen and silent world.
