He was one of the greatest Greek musicians of the Archaic period, the first and foremost in the row of celebrated citharodes of Lesbos, and an extensive tradition of his life was developed. He set both his own and Homer’s hexametric poetry to music, and composed also in lyric metres. His musical performances took him far beyond his home island: he is reported to have travelled to Sparta, Phocis, Egypt and, perhaps also to Asia Minor. Terpander is recorded as a winner at the musical contests at the Carneian festival and the Pythian games. In Sparta he supposedly organized music in some way, and also restored peace or healed people with the help of his music. Sparta was also the place where he died choking on a fig. Many innovations in music were ascribed to him, such as several citharodic and aulodic nomes, a new mode, improvement of the harp, the inventions of the barbitos and the genre of drinking songs. Ancient chronographers placed Terpander roughly in the time of Midas and Archilochus, i.e. in the first part of the seventh century bc. Terpander’s poetry as a source for his biographical tradition The extant nine fragments of Terpander’s poetry (or the fragments as- cribed to him) contain almost no hints to his life. All that appears from them is that Terpander had dactylic prooemia and hymns in his repertoire,thatsomeofhiscompositionswere,perhaps,sungtofour notes (or to a four-stringed lyre), some to seven notes (or to a seven- stringed cithara), and that some of his songs may have been thematically connected to Sparta.

Terpander’s home and origin Four cities are mentioned as Terpander’s home towns in ancient sources: Antissa and Methymna on Lesbos, Arne (in Boeotia), and Cyme in Asia Minor. The earliest extant references are from the fifth century: Pindar says that Terpander came from Lesbos, and the citharode Timotheus of Miletus specifies that Terpander’s home town was Antissa.1 Antissa remained the most frequently mentioned among the poet’s home towns, and its claim is strengthened by the fact that there is no other reason to maintain that Terpander was its citizen except that the bard had actually lived there.2 Methymna, mentioned by Diodorus Siculus, was usually believed to be a birth-place of Arion, and might be transferred into Terpander’s tradition from the one of Arion.3 Beside the information that Terpander came either from Arne, Antissa, or Cyme, the Suda says that the poet was a descendant either of Hesiod or Homer, suggesting that Terpander was a Homerid, in a way. It gives a genealogy:4 1 Pi. fr.

The same applies to the Marmor Parium’s entry that the poet’s father was Derdenes or Derdenis, which might be a real name, but might as well be an allusion to Terpander’s Aeolian origin: Dardanus was the ancestor of the Trojan kings in the Iliad.6 We know from several sources that Terpander used to sing besides his own hexametric poetry also that of Homer.7 This might be one of the reasons why the tradition emerged that Terpander, like the Homerids of Chios, was a descendant of Homer: according to tradition, Homer, while in Chios, had married Aresiphone the daughter of Gnotor of Cyme, and had two sons, Eriphon andTheolaus,andadaughterwhobecameawifeofStasinusofCyprus.8 Perhaps the Eriphon in this account is the same as Euryphon in the Suda’s genealogy of Terpander.9 Cyme is, with Smyrna and Chios, the city which had the strongest claim for Homer’s citizenship, and also Hesiod is through his father’s home town strongly linked with this city.10 5 Or Boeus of Phocis. 6 Marmor Ep. : 3#’ U Τρπανδρς , Δερδνες , Λσις τ]ς ν μυς τ][ς κι!]α[ρωι.δ.

The nominative form of the father’s name in Aeolic dialect may be Δερδενες,seeBechtel :. Cf. also Il. Δ ρδανς,andAristoph.Vesp. where a flute girl is called ( Δαρδανς. 7 Heracl. Pont. fr. Wehrli, Alex. Polyhist. F , [Plut.] Mus. .c. 8 Suda s.v. PQμηρς – Allen. 9 Tzetzes says that Homer was married to Eurydice and had sons Seriphon and Theolaus, and a daughter Arsiphone (as he spells the name) who married Stasinus (Chil. ff.). ‘Seriphon’ may be an erroneous reading of Suda’s account: “.. / δ’ υ/ες MΕρ#ων...” 10 The genealogies, which the two epic poets share, include several Cymeans, see p. M. Kivilo - 9789004193284 Downloaded from Brill.com09/28/2021 09:19:21PM via free access chapter six Thus, if Terpander was believed to be a descendant either of Hesiod or Homer, he may have been indirectly regarded also as a citizen of Aeolian Cyme.11 The same reasoning may lie in the background of the claim that Terpander came from Arne, if Arne here is the town in Boeotia mentioned in the Iliad,12 for it has been suggested that Lesbos was colonized by the Aeolians of Boeotia.13 Also one of the nomes of Terpander is called Boeotian and it is emphasised that this nome (just as the one called Aeolian)wasnamedafterthepeoplewhosemusicformed the basis of the nome.14 Hesiod, of course, was a Boeotian whose father had moved to Boeotia from Cyme.15 Thus, Arne and Cyme as Terpander’s home towns may be derived from the Boeotian origin of Aeolians on Lesbos, or from the traditions of Hesiod or Homer to which Terpander’s tradition became attached.16 In other words, the traditions of Arne and Cyme may reflect the opinions about Terpander’s ancestors and his status as a poet and musician, rather than the opinions about his home town. TheBoeotianAeolianswereofthesameraceasthePieriansamong whom, it seems, Orpheus was thought to have belonged.17 According to tradition, after the women had torn Orpheus in pieces, his head and harp were thrown into the sea and borne across to Antissa. The head prophesied for a while on Lesbos and was eventually buried in a cave near Antissa; Orpheus’ harp was taken to Terpander.18 On these grounds, and supported by the possible significance of Terpander’s name, some 11 DGRBM s.v. Terpander, Müller :. 12 Il. ., ., Paus. .., etc. Some sources locate Arne in Thessaly: e.g. Thuc. ., Steph. Byz. s.v. iΑ ρ ν η .SeetheentriesArne in RE and Brill’s New Pauly. 13 See Huxley :. The suggestion is based on Str. .. (), .. () and Thuc. ... Strabo says that the Boeotians returned from Thessaly to Boeotia at the time the sons of Orestes were despatching to Asia (..), and that Lesbos was colonized by Gras, a great-grandson of Orestes (..). He does not explicitly say that the Boeo- tians joined the Aeolian colonists. According to Thucydides, however, the Lesbians still regarded the Boeotians as their kindred at the time of the Peloponnesian War (..). Cf. Sakellariou :–. 14 Pollux Onom. .; schol. ad Aristoph. Ach.(butcf.Sudas.v.Μ σJς bEδων ΒιDτιν), cit. in p. n. 15 Hesiod is never connected with Arne in tradition. Zenodotus, however, emended “iΑρνην”inIl. .as “iΑσκρην”. 16 Although we have no information that Terpander had sung the poetry of Hesiod, there are traditional epic works ascribed to Hesiod which Terpander could well have performed at the contests, e.g. The Shield of Heracles. 17 Although Orpheus is generally called a Thracian, his grave and cult belong not to Thrace but to Pieria in Macedonia, a region which formely had been inhabited by the Thracians, cf.

  • Remembering Music in Early Greece
    REMEMBERING MUSIC IN EARLY GREECE JOHN C. FRANKLIN This paper contemplates various ways that the ancient Greeks preserved information about their musical past. Emphasis is given to the earlier periods and the transition from oral/aural tradition, when self-reflective professional poetry was the primary means of remembering music, to literacy, when festival inscriptions and written poetry could first capture information in at least roughly datable contexts. But the continuing interplay of the oral/aural and written modes during the Archaic and Classical periods also had an impact on the historical record, which from ca. 400 onwards is represented by historiographical fragments. The sources, methods, and motives of these early treatises are also examined, with special attention to Hellanicus of Lesbos and Glaucus of Rhegion. The essay concludes with a few brief comments on Peripatetic historiography and a selective catalogue of music-historiographical titles from the fifth and fourth centuries. INTRODUCTION Greek authors often refer to earlier music.1 Sometimes these details are of first importance for the modern historiography of ancient 1 Editions and translations of classical authors may be found by consulting the article for each in The Oxford Classical Dictionary3. Journal 1 2 JOHN C. FRANKLIN Greek music. Uniquely valuable, for instance, is Herodotus’ allusion to an Argive musical efflorescence in the late sixth century,2 nowhere else explicitly attested (3.131–2). In other cases we learn less about real musical history than an author’s own biases and predilections. Thus Plato describes Egypt as a never-never- land where no innovation was ever permitted in music; it is hard to know whether Plato fabricated this statement out of nothing to support his conservative and ideal society, or is drawing, towards the same end, upon a more widely held impression—obviously superficial—of a foreign, distant culture (Laws 656e–657f).

  • 12 Soothing Lyres and Epodai Music Therapy and the Cases of Orpheus
    Antonietta Provenza Soothing Lyres and epodai: Music Therapy and the Cases of Orpheus, Empedocles and David The Charms of Music: Harmonia, Music Therapy and Musical Ethos The psychagogic efficacy of music, namely its power to act on the soul in such a way as to influence characters and behaviors, and even health,1 is based in ancient Greek thought on a likeness between soul and musical harmony.2 This idea involves also a “harmonious” order distinguishing human physis as being a part of the world order (kosmos), as it is possible to notice at least since the time of the pre-Socratics. From many of the surviving fragments of their works3 we learn of the shift of the term harmonia4 (Bonaventura-Meyer 1932; Lippman 1963; Lambropoulou 1995–1996; Franklin 2002) from material aspects of human life 1 *I wish to express my heartfelt thanks to Dr. Joan Goodnick Westenholz and to Professors Yossi Maurey and Edwin Seroussi for the opportunity to present this paper and for their interest in my study of ancient Greek music. I would like also to thank Professors Salvatore Nicosia, Andrew D. Barker, John C. Franklin, Angelo Meriani, Eleonora Rocconi and the anonymous reviewer of this paper for their observations. See Anderson 1966; West 1992: 31–33 (quoting many references concerning the healing and soothing properties of music); West 2000: 51–68; Barker 2005. 2 This idea was discussed extensively in ancient Greece at least since the early Pythagoreans. Among the many evidence concerning the topic of soul and musical harmony, I mention here only the well-known passage in Plato’s Phaedo (85 e4–86 a3) where Simmias refers to the notion of soul as a harmonious blend of the elements composing the human body (verisimilarly recall- ing the physiological theories and the notion of isonomia of the Pythagorean physician Alcmae- on of Croton, see 24B4 DK = Aët.

  • Threnodic Elegy in Sparta Cecilia Nobili
    Threnodic Elegy in Sparta Cecilia Nobili OST STUDIES concerning the new elegy of Simonides for the fallen at Plataea acknowledge the Spartan M commission of the ode and the role played by the Spartan leader Pausanias in the extant fragments. It has been argued that the poem was composed to celebrate the Spartan soldiers who died at Plataea and was performed at a public festival which involved cultic ceremonies at the common graves.1 The Spartans, in fact, were buried on the battlefield according to the Spartan custom, and Thucydides testifies that they received offerings by the inhabitants of Plataea and were venerated as heroes.2 Later sources attest that an annual fes- tival called Eleutheria was instituted, possibly by the Athenian Aristides, in order to honour the Plataiomachoi, but the fifth- 1 A.
