Ancient Greece used eight different scales {mode, scale}, named after different tribes. Notes and intervals are the same for all modes, but fundamental tone and central tone differ.
Modes have associated moods {ethos, music}.
Greek modes were descending scales, so top tone was fundamental tone. Modes had central tones {nese}.
Dorian-mode nese is central tone of interval from second F below middle C to F above middle C {greater perfect system}.
