Well OK, maybe I slam-dunked my foot into my mouth there! Again, I was only going back to early Renaissance times. If you go back further than that, I must confess that I honestly have no idea if triads were used in ancient greek music. I guess it's reasonable to suppose that they were since Ptolemy suggested a tuning with 5:4 and 5:3 in it, but that question is in none of my areas of expertise, I'm afraid.
