Lyre and Aulos from an Athenian Classical Grave in the Area between the So-Called ‘Eriai’ Gates and the Dipylon (Grave 48, 470-50 BC)

Lyre and Aulos from an Athenian Classical Grave in the Area between the So-Called ‘Eriai’ Gates... AbstractThe remains of two musical instruments, a tortoise carapace lyre and an ‘early type’ aulos, were found in a grave of the Classical period (470-50 BC), outside the Athenian walls, in the area between the so-called ‘Eriai’ Gates and the Dipylon. In this paper, they are discussed in every significant organological detail and are compared with similar finds; and an attempt is made to reconstruct them verbally. Of special mention are: the elegant string holder of the lyre and the affinity of the aulos to some other significant exemplars. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Greek and Roman Musical Studies Brill

Abstract

AbstractThe remains of two musical instruments, a tortoise carapace lyre and an ‘early type’ aulos, were found in a grave of the Classical period (470-50 BC), outside the Athenian walls, in the area between the so-called ‘Eriai’ Gates and the Dipylon. In this paper, they are discussed in every significant organological detail and are compared with similar finds; and an attempt is made to reconstruct them verbally. Of special mention are: the elegant string holder of the lyre and the affinity of the aulos to some other significant exemplars.
