RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Sound A1 GutiƩrrez Cajaraville, Carlos AB Sound, basically characterized as air in motionsince ancient Greece, has been at the core of thetheories of many philosophers, as well as musicians,poets, scientists, and theologians. Underthe auspices of Hellenic thought, Renaissancescholars tried to define what sound is,unveiling its vibrating forces to understand itsability to shake the human body and soul. Insuch a way, the ever-present metaphors of harmonywere much more than mere imagined,unreal thoughts: through them, Renaissancehumanists shaped, organized, and understoodthe structure and passions of the world itself.
