 | | Moreover, the shortest Hymns should not be considered abbreviations of the long ones, as some have thought, but, on the contrary, would be especially useful to the rhapsode as a kind of minimalist acknowledgment of the divinity at whose festival he was performing. | | | For F., the rhapsodic hymn offers a prolongation or continuation of the epiphanic experience of the audience evoked by the festive cult hymn. | | | The last point is not fully argued and finally unpersuasive, since most of the Hymns, and especially the middle-length Hymns, do not unambiguously refer to a specific cultic occasion or place of performance. |

| | The Internet Classics Archive Ion by Plato |
| | O that we were wise, Ion, and that you could truly call us so; but you rhapsodes and actors, and the poets whose verses you sing, are wise; whereas I am a common man, who only speak the truth. | | | For there are many such passages, particularly in the Odyssey; as, for example, the passage in which Theoclymenus the prophet of the house of Melampus says to the suitors:- | | | And she descended into the deep like a leaden plummet, which, set in the horn of ox that ranges in the fields, rushes along carrying death among the ravenous fishes,- will the art of the fisherman or of the rhapsode be better able to judge whether these lines are rightly expressed or not? |

| | There is enough evidence, then, to conclude that what the rhapsodes recited was directly descended from what earlier singers had sung. | | | If we look for the earliest historical evidence, we see that the actually attested context for performing the Iliad and Odyssey was already in the sixth century not simply the informal occasion of an evening's feast but rather the formal occasion of a festival of Panhellenic repute, such as the Panathenaia in Athens. | | | On the basis of available evidence, it appears that rhapsodes did not sing the compositions that they performed but rather recited them without the accompaniment of the lyre. |

| | Nardelli finds that I "refuse the critical consequences of the Parry-Lord theory"; I show this by marking as spurious a number of verses "which, in their great majority, are easily accounted for in the oralist framework". | | | Not, at any rate, by preaching that such repetitions are typical of oral poets and therefore to be accepted; for they are no less typical of non-creative rhapsodes, and of Homeric copyists down to the Middle Ages. | | | Again, how do we decide, in the absence of external evidence, whether a redundant verse, repeated from another context, is due to the poet or is a later intrusion? |

| | We know they were recited by Rhapsodes; memorization was crucial to the success of Homer’s works and their ability to exist over time, prior to the written word. | | | The very existence of Homer’s works, the occupation of Rhapsodes in Greece, and Guslar’s in Serbia eradicates the claim that text was necessary for recitation. | | | Possible added significance, in relation to education, is that the theory supported by this quote may have lead to the value placed on drill and practice in later education, and the emphasis on rote learning (both of which were based on the recitation of text material). |

| | DIDASKALIA: Ancient Theater Today |
| | Now, you may very well say at this point, in a Shakespearean way: this fictitious confession of a fictitious rhapsode does not hold “a mirror- up- to nature”, to the performative reality of rhapsodic performances, whether in Athens or anywhere else in the Greek world. | | | What about the so-called rhapsode, the man who “sews together ( raptei)” and performs them competitively all over the Greek world at state-sponsored religious festivals, such as the Panathenaic festival? | | | Now in most acting traditions of European theatre-production, one of the greatest skills of the stage performer resides in his ability to carry his spectators along with him, to irradiate their soul with his own passion. |

| | Plato on Rhetoric and Poetry |
| | As both reciter and exegete, the rhapsode has no exact analogue today. | | | By contrast, Socrates characterizes himself in the Apology as knowing only his own ignorance, as human rather than divine in his “wisdom.” | | | Finally, since the poets and their rhapsodes both present views about how things are and ought to be, and seek to persuade their auditors of the same, they cannot escape responsibility for the implicit claim to wisdom and authority they make. |

| | fAMOUS BARDS OF GREEK ORAL TRADITIONS |
| | Accordingly, bards are wandering rhapsodes or minstrel poets who compose and recite verses that celebrate legendary exploits of heroes; concerns with the future and the past; and the genealogy of the race of the gods. | | | Bardic poetry are thus songs of heroic epics that carry the message of human morality and the nature of humanity “with the visions of the cosmos or history or morality” to implicate “a larger conceptual system within which to orient the family” (Stehle, Performance and Gender in Ancient Greece). |

| | The fourth, longer section discusses the idea of cross-referencing in Homer, a phenomenon N. believes need not be based on a written text, but may be explained in terms of the diachronic nature of oral-traditional poetics. | | | What N. is essentially trying to do is to connect the idea of acting denoted by hupokrinesthai with the performance of the poems by rhapsodes, whereby each rhapsode re-enacts the narrator of the poems as well as the characters. | | | It is the fact that rhapsodes perform the poetry -- that they become, as it were, Diomedes, Helen and, in the end, Homer -- that generates in themselves the need for, and in their audience the impression of, verbal fixity, even though by our literate standards this is not the case. |

| | Nagy then explores the significance of Plato's use of rhapsodic terms and techniques, noting the language used to describe how characters 'hand over' a continuous discourse which is to be 'taken up' by the following speaker. | | | The practice of rhapsodic sequencing is then linked with the concept of 'relay mnemonics' which is presented as a principle that connects, from a diachronic perspective, the Homeric and the rhapsodic traditions. | | | Nagy ends by stressing the significance of the position of the rhapsode and the context of his performance, revealing the rhapsode as an authorised (and authorising) performer of Homeric poetry and recognising 'that the authorization of rhapsodic performances came from the authority of the Athenian state, on the authoritative occasion of the Panathenaia' (p. |

| | Rhapsode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | It was much thanks to these rhapsodes that the works of Homer could be preserved until they were actually written down. | | | Etymologically, the term means either "stitch-singer" (because the rhapsode stitched together elements of traditional poetry in his performances) or "staff-singer" (because he held a staff as the emblem of his trade). | | | In classical antiquity, a rhapsode was a professional reciter of poetry, especially the epics of Homer, but also the wisdom-verse of Hesiod and the satires of Archilochus, among others. |

| | Homeric Recitation - Styles |
| | Although many people would prefer to try to emulate the aoidoi, there are some reasons why the rhapsodes might be more plausible targets. | | | It is unclear how much freedom to innovate the rhapsodes had, but it is clear that they thought of themselves as performing the works of a definite poet, Homer, rather than actively building something creative, or directly receiving inspiration from the muses, as the original aoidoi claimed to do. | | | Another possibility is that they were incrementally created by the later performers, the rhapsodes, by a process of `competitive collaboration' whereby the various stories contributing to the epics were performed in sequence and gradually worked into a coherent whole (this would provide a nice account of the meaning of the term `rhapsode', which is `stitcher'). |
