Listening to Ancient Greek Sanctuaries, Or, The Past Was a Noisy Country

from This Week in the Ancient Near East · host thisweekintheancientneareast

Psychoacoustic search at the Sanctuary of Zeus on Mount Lycaion shows that the builders constructed an entire site around sound. You could hear everything from the cheap seats, but was the experience really social rather than acoustic? With special shoutouts to The Who, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, and Boston area favorite, Human Sexual Response!
