Tell me. You are musical.” “Mixed Lydian and Hyperlydian, and some other similar ones.’ igs and lamentations.” ‘Then these we must dismiss, must we not?” I said. ‘For even in the training of virtuous women they are useless, much more so in the training of men.” Certainly.” “Then are not drunkenness, effeminacy, and idleness most unseemly in guardians?” ‘Surely.” Which are the soft and convivial modes?” “There are Ionian and Lydian modes which are called slack.’ “Then, my friend, shall we use those for men who are warriors?” “By no means,’ he said. ‘You seem to have Dorian and Phrygian left.” 11399 ¢7 07 “Then,” I said, we shall not require for our songs and melodies a variety of strings or sudden changes of medulation?” I think nos,’ he said ‘Then we shall noc maintain the makers of harps and duleimers, and of all instruments which are many-stringed and snany-keyed” think not,’ he said Then will you allow fluce makers and flute players into the city? Has not the flute more notes than any other instrument, sad are not those many-keyed instruments really imitations of the flute?” Obviously,” he said You have left,’ I said, ‘the lyre and the zither, which will be useful in town, and in the fields the herdsmen may havea sipe.” So the argument tells us," he said We are making no innovation," I said, ‘when we prefer Apollo and Apollo's instruments to Marsyas and his astruments.” No, by Zeus,” he said, “I think we are not.’ Now, by the dog,’ I said, ‘here have we been purging the city which we said before was too luxurious, and we never coticed it’ Well, it was very wise of us,’ he said IV 924.03 ~6 He must beware of changing to a new kind of music, for the change always involves far-reaching danger. Any iteration in the modes of music is always followed by alteration in the most fundamental laws of the state.” 30 Dan & Som Li, LoonTlnarox. Tocyzaperso.
