Harpista sentado

2800–2700 BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 151
Existem apenas algumas representações de músicos na arte da Idade do Bronze inicial nas ilhas e essa figura é uma das mais antigas. Os harpistas eram provavelmente membros importantes da comunidade que atuavam como repositórios humanos e comunicadores da história, a mitologia e a música do seu povo em um tempo anterior à escrita. Podem ser considerados precursores dos músicos profissionais da heroica Era Micênica mencionados nos poemas épicos de Homero, tais como a Odisseia, e, mais tarde, na rica tradição poética oral da antiga Grécia.
