Abstract | It is examined whether a chelys-lyre could be used, at least as an exception, instead of a cithara in formal public occasions (that is, events organized by the polis and having some degree of religious significance: solo, choral and dramatic contests at the state festivals, music-making at the public religious ceremonies and honouring winners of the Panhellenic games). |
