Harmony

Harmony In Ancient Greek Writings On Music, Plato's Harmonic Cosmology, Neoplatonic Speculative Harmony



Harmony is derived from the classical Greek harmonia (meaning a joint between the planks of a ship or a joining of those planks). From the beginning, the term was also used in its current metaphorical sense, that of a combination of parts or related things to form a consistent whole or an agreement.
