TERPANDER

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 647 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
TERPANDER , of Antissa in
Lesbos
 ,
Greek
  poet and musician. About the time of the Second Messenian war, he settled in
Sparta
 , whither, according to some accounts, he had been summoned by command of the Delphian oracle, to compose the
differences
  which had arisen between different classes inthe state. Here he gained the prize in the musical contests at the festival
Carnea
  (676-2 B.C.; Athenaeus, 635 E.). He is regarded as the real founder of
Greek
  classical music, and of lyric
poetry
 ; but as to his innovations in music our information is imperfect. According to
Strabo
  (xiii. p. 618) he increased the number of strings in the lyre from four to seven; others take the fragment cf Terpander on which
Strabo
  bases his statement (Bergk, 5) to mean that he
developed
  the citharoedic nomos (sung to the
accompaniment
  of the cithara or lyre) by making the divisions of the ode seven instead of four. The seven-stringed lyre was probably already in existence. Ter-pander is also said to have introduced several new rhythms in
addition to the dactylic, and to have been famous as a composer of drinking-songs.
Fragments (the genuineness of which is doubtful) in T. Bergk, Poetae Lyrici Graeci, iii.; see also O.
Lowe
 , De Terpandri Lesbii aetate (1869), who places him about 676 B.C.
