Gee, you could at least do some research before making a complete moron out of yourself user

They have you anime twat.

Poetry and music were one and the same in ancient Greece. Homer epics were meant to be recited accompanied by a harpist playing.

has anyone tried stretching strings over a hollow wooden box and plucking them to produce sound? the length of the string could even be adjusted to change the pitch

amazing why hasn't anyone thought of this yet???

yeah but Homer wasn't a real person so you can't really say he tried it

Ever heard of rap?

y'all ever hear of Leonard Cohen?

nice bait.
