چکیده

The applications ORPHEUS and ARION have been presented to vast audiences during the International Fair of Thessaloniki between 8-17 September 2006. They were presented in international conferences, in nation-wide radio emissions, in newspaper and magazine articles. ORPHEUS has been supported by the “HERMES”1 project, while ARION is under the auspices of the SEEArchWeb2 project. ORPHEUS is an interactive presentation of Ancient Greek Musical Instruments. The virtual environment of ORPHEUS allows the experimentation with the use and the sounds of the modeled ancient instruments. The Ancient Greek Guitar (“Kithara”), which was the first modeled instrument, can be virtually strummed using the mouse or the keyboard. The auditory result is ancient Greek melodies. The application, which is accompanied by information about the history of Ancient Greek Music and a picture gallery relative to the Ancient Greek Instruments, has mainly educational character. Its main scope is to demonstrate the Ancient Greek Musical Instruments to the audience.
