Default Ancient Greek Music Theory

Hello Musicians, Composers, Fellow Students, and Musicologists,

I'm an undergrad student studying ancient Greek music theory in
depth for
application to a contemporary performance.

Has anyone written on the subject to a considerable degree? My work
is an
Honors Project, much akin to an undergraduate thesis of sorts. I'm
looking
for people to direct me to better sources and comment on my
interpretations
and troubles.

Thank you for reading my inquiry. My apologies for the crosspost.


Nancy Sultan made this bibliography:

http://titan.iwu.edu/~classics/music.html

The stuff on there that I've read (like the Comotti), while good,
still leaves me unsatisfied. But that's not so much the fault of the
writers as it is the impossibility of ever recovering much of a solid
picture of what this music truly was.
