In the 7th Century B.C., organized melody appeared in Ancient Greece. There is an opinion that the first person to sing poetry on specific melodic patterns (chants), that is, to use repetitive musical phrases to memorize and recite verses, was the Spartan poet and musician Terpandre.
Similarly, he is believed to have perfected the first professional musical instrument, the cithara (a type of lyre). He added three more strings to the four, increasing the instrument’s range to almost an octave. After that arose a further theoretical division of this range into tones and semitones, the most specific intervals between sounds.
