Did the Ancient Greeks create music?
No, if you are asking if music was invented by the Ancient Greeks, music had been around before the Ancient Greeks. Music is found in every known culture, past and present, varying wildly between times and places. Scientists now believe that modern humans emerged from Africa 160,000 years ago. Around 50,000 years ago these humans began to disperse from Africa reaching all the habitable continents. Since all people of the world, including the most isolated tribal groups, have a form of music, scientists conclude that music must have been present in the ancestral population prior to the dispersal of humans around the world. Consequently music must have been in existence for at least 50,000 years and the first music must have been invented in Africa and then evolved to become a fundamental constituent of human life.
Yes, if you are asking if they used music, Plato and others mention music in their writings.

What led to ancient Greece democracy?
Democracy basically started off in Athens during the Classical Period (c.478-336 BC) in the city state (Polis). Athenian democracy can be traced back to the reforms of Solon (584BC) who was a political leader and poet. When the people got sick of a monarchy, the aristocrats took over. The aristocrats were the rich group of people who provided money for such things as, weapons, supplies, or battlefields. They were close with the king and helped him make decisions. Eventually they thought they were better, and more powerful then the King. They took over and eventually made an Oligarchy, then a tyranny, and then, through time, created a democracy where citizens helped decided they wanted to govern themselves. It was different back then though, only free men could become citizens. Women, children, and slaves did all the work at home. Although, they influenced how we vote for our leaders, and how they have a four year term.

Myron
Myron (fl.c.480-440 B.C.), Greek sculptor, an older contemporary of the sculptors Phidias, and Polyclitus, considered by the ancients as one of the most versatile and innovative of all Attic sculptors.
Born in Eleutherae, he lived most of his life in Athens and is repeatedly called an Athenian by the 2nd-century-A.D. traveler Pausanias. The 1st-century writer Pliny cites Myron as the first to achieve lifelike representation in Art.
Working almost exclusively in bronze, he is best known for his many studies of athletes in action. Of his many works, only two representations survive: the group of Athena and Marsyas, originally standing on the Acropolis of Athens, and the "Discobolos" (Discus Thrower), both are marble copies made in Roman times.
