A common characteristic of most forms of simple work is their rhythm. This is perhaps especially observable In^a blacksmith's forge, but hardly less so In milking, scrubbing, and various other common emiployments. It Is a feature which early S/ttracted the notice of man, and, as it i| much easier to move rhythmically than ar- rhythmlcally, he early hit on the no- tion of a-ccompanylng his labors by some rhythmical noise, generally though not always song. Under mod- em conditions this has almost disap- peared, the sailors' shanties, now fast vanishing with the sailing-vessel, be- ing a last remnant. It is therefore In- tereatlngto know that songs did ac- company some kinds of work In Greece.
