By putting the music in their larger historic context the author manages to convincingly decostruct the illusionary borders between eastern and western culture.
Also got to see how these complex patterns tend to work together. Westerners liking the aesthetic of Greek as they think and the Greek government trying to change what's exported to better maintain that view.
Specifically regarding the Sanskrit part, there wasn't much he talked, but would make sense why two IE languages might have similiar sounds given their similiar mythology.
I listened to the Odyssey recitation on the channel you shared (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZByDOoDjIM) and to me it doesn't sound much like Sanskrit, but maybe that's just because I'm too familiar with Sanskrit and cannot take an outside view. (I can see how it's similar to other Sanskrit chanting videos on the same channel though.) Anyway as you said, it would make sense for the oldest Indo-European chanting traditions to have some similarities.
And I do agree, knowledge on anything is fractal and with more familiarity you'd have better understanding of how two things differ.
