		Terpander (Terpandros), of Lesbos, was the father of Greek music, and through it of lyric poetry, although his own poetical compositions were few and in extremely simple rhythms.
		That the nomes of Terpander were entirely of his own composition, is not very probable, and indeed there is evidence to prove that some of them were derived from old tunes, ascribed to the ancient bards, and others from national melodies.
		At the festival of the Carneia, where Terpander had been the first to obtain a victory, the prize for lyric music was gained in regular succession by members of his school down to Pericleitus, about B. Respecting the improvements in citharoedic music after the time of Terpander, see Thaletas at Gortyna.

		Such a mistake, made by so eminent a chronologer, through following implicitly Eusebius and the Parian marble, is an excellent example of the danger of trusting to the positive statements of the chronographers in opposition to a connected chain of inference from more detailed testimonies.
		It is also opposed to analogy, which teaches us that the period of most rapid improvement in any art is that in which it is first brought under the dominion of definite laws, by some great genius, whose first efforts are the signal for the appearance of a host of rivals, imitators, and pupils.

		But Miilier, and other scholars, have pointed out the fact, that Terpander may be connected with one of the most interesting and important of those traditions.
		What Terpander himself effected for the art is thus described by Miilier: — "Terpander appears to have been properly the founder of Greek music.
		He first reduced to rule the different modes of singing which prevailed in different countries, and formed, out of these rude strains, a connected system, from which the Greek music never departed throughout all the improvements and refinements of later ages.

	Chapter 3
		In other words the inception of the Karneia, an institution that was recognized by tradition as the oldest established festival of the Spartans, was reckoned in terms of Terpander's victory in a contest of singing to the accompaniment of the lyre (Athenaeus 635ef).
		We may note, in connection with the traditional provenience of the Terpander figure from Aeolic Lesbos, the actual form kitharis 'lyre' in the Hymn to Hermes (e.g., 499) and in Homeric diction in general (e.g., Odyssey i 153): the accentuation of this word follows a clearly Aeolic pattern.
		In this source, the nomoi of Terpander are understood anachronistically as equivalent to the nomoi of Timotheus of Miletus, a virtuoso composer of the late fifth century, who is said to have composed his earliest nomoi in dactylic hexameters: "Plutarch" On Music 1132e.

	Harp Spectrum
		The harp in the Berkeley MS is described as being composed of a heptachord and a tetrachord producing an 11 note range, (labeled a, b, c, d, e, f, g, a, b, c, d) said to have been put together by Teulex of Egypt.
		(14) The heptachord was devised by Terpander of Lesbos who added a seventh string to the six strings representing the natural hexachord to establish a correspondence to the seven planets.
		Therefore these examples can be used to support the idea of approaching the stringing of the harp from the basis of hexachords and tetrachords and not eight-note, diatonic scales.

	Chapter 12
		In Nemean5, we see the representation of a khoros 'chorus' of Muses (23) who are specifically singing (aeid' 22), and in their midst is the god Apollo himself, taking control as he strikes up a lyre that is heptaglôssos 'having seven languages' (24), leading the choral performance of 'all sorts of nomoi' (pantoiôn nomôn Nemean5.25).
		Similarly with Terpander: in a relatively late source like the one that we are considering, "Plutarch" On Music 1133bc, the corpus of Terpander could legitimately be considered a collection of monodic prooimia, composed predominantly in dactylic hexameter and therefore deemed suitable as preludes to Homeric poetry.
		The solo performance of quasi-lyric monody, as in the case of Terpander, and the solo performance of nonlyric poetry, as in the case of the Homeric Hymns, are not the only media that evolved out of the prooimion 'prooemium' of the kitharôidos 'lyre singer'.

		The earliest music is virtually unknown, but in the Homeric era a national musical culture existed that was looked upon by later generations as a "golden age." The chief instrument was the phorminx, a lyre used to accompany poet-singers who composed melodies from nomoi, short traditional phrases that were repeated.

	Music Chronology
		The first known musical figure, Terpander, a Kithara player from Lesbos, started a musical revolution in Greece.
		Terpander changed the Greek lyre from 4 to 7 strings, filled in all the "missing" notes in the octave and created the Mixolydian scale.
		Terpander was also supposed to have been appointed by Sparta to pacify the city with his music during a period of social turmoil.

		VI.60), unraveled in Greece along two interchangeable planes of mythological and historical reality (Veyne 1983): the origin of singing to the aulos was ascribed, through Hyagnis and Marsyas, to Olympus and then Hierax; singing to accompaniment of the kithara was ascribed to Thaletas, Terpander and Archilochus.
		While Olympus and Thaletas must be considered, in Abert's definition "collective legendary names", Terpander and Archilochus represent the historical roots of the lineage of Greek composers (Abert 1910).
		This way of merging exemplary memories and mythicized truth finds a precise correspondence in the genealogies of players of folk music (for instance, the Sardinian players of launeddas, Bentzon 1969), where the origin of an illustrious "school" is placed in remote antiquity.
