		If he is about to sing, he is a citharode, but if he is only playing and not singing, he is properly termed a citharist; competitions for both were held at the Panathenaia.
		The size of the vessel required the painter to add these extraneous characters; another, smaller column-krater by the painter has a more tightly-knit group of citharode and judge.

		The result was, that since a crowd or congregation could not do such singing in unison, singers were specially selected for their ability in musical improvisation.
		After the manner of the Greek orator with his Citharode, the singer was assisted by another who reiterated a given pitch, a stationary tone.

		Reply: James Butrica: "Re: Texts of Mesomedes the Citharode"

		Assuming you are still in Gallery 1, proceed down the wall on your left past the Citharode to a simple and dignified grave marker ('stele') of a young athlete (#08.288).

		Found mostly in baths and villas and rendered in the Late Classical Greek style, these statues of Eros do not conform to the Roman traditional values of masculinity.
		In Chapter Twelve, Linda Jones Roccos ("The Citharode Apollo in Villa Contexts: A Roman Theme with Variations") analyses the same statuary type in four different villas, each time with a different grouping of statues, which gives a different meaning to the same statue.
		This book is to be commended for its very good presentation and its splendid illustrations.

		It is precisely the appropriation and hence domination of such genres by the poetics of theater that led Plato to condemn the poetic innovations of the theater as a degeneration of genres: for Plato, the usurpation of the kitharôidikos nomos ( Laws 700b) by theater is an example of theatrokratiâ (701a).

		But we know also that a professional kitharôidos 'citharode' could perform, before audiences, melic compositions akin to those of Alcaeus.
		The earliest example of a kitharôidos 'citharode' is Terpander of Lesbos, a prototypical itinerant professional songmaker who was reportedly the first of all winners at the Spartan festival known as the Karneia (Hellanicus FGH 4 F 85 by way of Athenaeus 635e).
