Olen
(88 words)
[German version] (Ὠλήν/
Ōlḗn). Founder of a cult, from the time before Orpheus (Paus. 9,27,2), from Lycia (Callim. H. 4,304-305) or descending from the Hyperboreans (Paus. 10,5,7-8). O. brought the worship of Apollo (cf. his epithet
Lýkeios , Aesch. Ag. 1257) to Delphi (Paus. 10,5,7-8). He also brought hymns to Eileithyia (ibid. 1,18,5), Hera (ibid. 2,13,3) and the Hyperboreans Opis and Arge (Hdt. 4,35) to Delos, where these hymns were still sung in the 2nd cent. AD; Pausanias quotes them (2,13,3; 5,7,8; 8,21,3; 9,27,2). Harmon, Roger (Basle)

Musicians (female)
(2,352 words)
[German version] I. Introduction Historical studies of music in the ancient world, as in other eras, tacitly assumed that the contributions of men are the unspoken universal, with women's contributions being regarded only as a special case. A gender-conscious examination (cf. Gender studies) of ancient musical culture reveals paradigms such as ‘public/private’, ‘productive/reproductive’ or ‘canonical/non-canonical,’ which were identified by feminist musicologists for later eras [17…

Zethus
(340 words)
(Ζῆθος/
Zêthos). [German version] [1] Son of Zeus and Antiope (Pind. fr. 52k,44: Ζέαθος/
Zéathos). Son of Zeus and Antiope [1]. A parallel is sometimes drawn between Z. and his twin brother Amphion [1], and Castor and Polydeuces (Dioscuri) (Pherecydes FGrH 3 F 124; Eur. HF 29). Together with Zeus, Epopeus is also considered to be their father (Asius fr. 1 EpGF). Exposed after birth, the twins are brought up by herdsmen (Exposure, myths and legends of). When Antiope manages to escape from her captivity by Dirce [1] to her sons, initially she is turned away by Z.. Later, however, the sons take revenge for the suffering of their mother by killing Dirce (Schol. Apoll. Rhod. 4,1090; Prop. 3,15,29-42; Hyg. Fab. 8). The two brothers take part in the voyage of the Argonauts; together they build the walls of Thebes (Thebes [2 III.]; Hom. Od. 11,260-265; Hes. fr. 182 M.-W.; Apoll. Rhod. 1,735-741; Apollod. 3,42-45). Here, their fundamentally different natures are shown quite clearly: according to Apollonius Rhodius, the stalwart oxherd Z. moves stones with muscle power, by contrast they follow the artistic lyre-playing of Amphion of their own accord. In literature, the twins are often used to illustrate the contrast between practical and philosophical ways of life (Plat. Grg. 485e; 506b; Rhet. Her. 2,43; Cic. De orat. 2,155; Practical Philosophy C; Rationality D). The two are rulers in Thebes. Z. marries Aedon (according to Apollod. 3,45: Thebe), their children are Itylu…

Simodia
(224 words)
[German version] (σιμῳδία/
simōidía). A Hellenistic genre of ‘low’ lyric poetry, named after its most important representative, Simus of Magnesia (Str. 14,1,41; Aristocles in Ath. 14,620d). According to Aristocles,
sim
ōidía was a newer term for
hilarōidía (Ath. loc.cit.), which had become popular with some because of the fame of Simus in comparison to earlier
hilarōidoí. It is related by Strabo to
lysiōidía (‘play with female characters in male attire’) and
magōidía (‘rude pantomime’; Str. loc.cit.;
cf. Ath. 14,620e) as well as to
kinaidologeȋn (‘talk of obscene things’);
cf. Ath.…

Technitai
(436 words)
[German version] (τεχνῖται/
technîtai). Originally a general term for artisans and artists, attested epigraphically from 278/7 BC in the (always expanded [1. 2519]) formula οἱ περὶ τὸν Διόνυσον τεχνῖται ('the
technitai around Dionysus'). These 'artists' associations' (
koina,
synodoi) brought together, amongst others musicians, poets, actors(…
