Pythagoras, Greek Philosophy and the Cosmic Error

The origins of the tritone's negative reputation are traced back to Pythagoras and ancient Greek philosophy. Pythagoras identified the tritone as "incommensurable" because it could not be split using simple harmonic proportions, leading the Greeks to view it as a "crack" or error in the universe. This philosophical stance established a dualism between good and evil that preceded the Catholic Church's theological adoption of the concept.
