yes, and:
a) those are guesses as no one knows what ancient greek music sounded like - how could anyone know?
b) even IF IF IF it were possible to know, do people go out and read greek lyric poetry for the music that did accompany it?
Like today: music with lyrics is bought and listened to for the music, dylan not excepted.

Follow Ups:

are you aware that new fragments of Sappho have been discovered and published?
