Abstract

This article deals with the question of the art of the flute in ancient Libya. First, reference is made to the way in which the Greek rulers of ancient Libya tried to impose the idea of the Greek origin of the art of flute on the Libyans. This is followed by an analysis of the indications of the continuous existence of the art of flute in ancient Libya. Finally, it is interesting to note that ancient Libya has such a long tradition in the art of flute, opening up the possible Libyan origin of the instrument.

باراسكيفيس ماريوس تورتونس

في هذا المقال سنتناول مسألة فن الناي في ليبيا القديمة . سوف نشير أولاً إلى الطريقة التي حاول بها الحكام اليونانيون لليبيا القديمة أن يفرضوا فكرة الأصل اليوناني لفن الناي على الليبيين المحليين . في الجزء الثاني، سنقوم بتحليل مؤشرات الوجود المستمر لفن الناي في ليبيا القديمة وهي مؤشرات، كما سنرى، تصل حتى العصر الحجري القديم . و أخيراً، سنلاحظ أن ليبيا القديمة لديها تقاليد طويلة الامد في فن الناي، مما يجعلنا نفكر في أصل ليبي محتمل للناي .
