Book 14
περὶ δὲ μουσικῆς τῶν μὲν τάδε λεγόντων, ἄλλων δʼ ἄλλα γʼ ὁσημέραι, πάντων δʼ ἐπαινούντων τὴν παιδείαν ταύτην, Μασούριος ὁ πάντα ἄριστος καὶ σοφὸς (καὶ γὰρ νόμων ἐξηγητὴς οὐδενὸς δεύτερος καὶ περὶ μουσικὴν ἐνδιατρίβων αἰεί· ἅπτεται γὰρ καὶ τῶν ὀργάνων) ἔφη· ὁ μὲν κωμῳδιοποιὸς Εὔπολις, ἄνδρες φίλοι, φησί· χἠ μουσικὴ πρᾶγμʼ ἐστὶ βαθὺ τι καὶ καμπύλον, αἰεί τε καινὸν ἐξευρίσκει τι τοῖς ἐπινοεῖν δυναμένοις. διόπερ καὶ Ἀναξίλας ἐν Ὑακίνθῳ φησίν· ἡ μουσικὴ δʼ ὥσπερ Λιβύη, πρὸς τῶν θεῶν, αἰεί τι καινὸν κατʼ ἐνιαυτὸν θηρίον τίκτει. μέγας γάρ, ὦ μακάριοι, κατὰ τὸν Θεοφίλου Κιθαρῳδόν, θησαυρός ἐστιν καὶ βέβαιος ἡ μουσικὴ ἅπασι τοῖς μαθοῦσι παιδευθεῖσί τε. καὶ γὰρ τὰ ἤθη παιδεύει καὶ τοὺς θυμοειδεῖς καὶ τὰς γνώμας διαφόρους καταπραύνει. Κλεινίας γοῦν ὁ Πυθαγόρειος, ὡς Χαμαιλέων ὁ Ποντικὸς ἱστορεῖ, καὶ τῷ βίῳ καὶ τοῖς ἤθεσιν διαφέρων, εἴ ποτε συνέβαινεν χαλεπαίνειν αὐτὸν διʼ ὀργήν, ἀναλαμβάνων τὴν λύραν ἐκιθάριζεν. πρὸς δὲ τοὺς ἐπιζητοῦντας τὴν αἰτίαν ἔλεγεν πραύνομαι. καὶ ὁ Ὁμηρικὸς δὲ Ἀχιλλεὺς τῇ κιθάρᾳ κατεπραύνετο, ἣν αὐτῷ ἐκ τῶν Ἠετίωνος λαφύρων μόνην Ὅμηρος χαρίζεται, καταστέλλειν τὸ πυρῶδες αὐτοῦ δυναμένην. μόνος γοῦν ἐν Ἰλιάδι ταύτῃ χρῆται τῇ μουσικῇ. ὅτι δὲ καὶ νόσους ἰᾶται μουσικὴ Θεόφραστος ἱστόρησεν ἐν τῷ περὶ Ἐνθουσιασμοῦ, ἰσχιακοὺς φάσκων ἀνόσους διατελεῖν, εἰ καταυλήσοι τις τοῦ τόπου τῇ Φρυγιστὶ ἁρμονίᾳ. ταύτην δὲ τὴν ἁρμονίαν Φρύγες πρῶτοι εὗρον καὶ μετεχειρίσαντο. διὸ καὶ τοὺς παρὰ τοῖς Ἕλλησιν αὐλητὰς Φρυγίους καὶ δουλοπρεπεῖς τὰς προσηγορίας ἔχειν· οἷός ἐστιν ὁ παρὰ Ἀλκμᾶνι Σάμβας καὶ Ἄδων καὶ Τῆλος, παρὰ δὲ Ἱππώνακτι Κίων καὶ Κώδαλος καὶ Βάβυς, ἐφʼ ᾧ καὶ ἡ παροιμία ἐπὶ τῶν αἰεὶ πρὸς τὸ χεῖρον αὐλούντων κάκιον ἢ Βάβυς αὐλεῖ. ὁ δʼ Ἀριστόξενος τὴν εὕρεσιν αὐτῆς Ὑάγνιδι τῷ Φρυγὶ ἀνατίθησιν.

CTS URN Retriever
The CTS URN retriever is a tool for retrieving and citing paragraphs, passages, and words in the text of the Deipnosophists by typing the corresponding CTS URN. The Digital Athenaeus is providing the text of the Teubner edition of the Deipnosophists by Georg Kaibel (1887-1890), which is cataloged as perseus-grc2 in the Perseus Catalog.
The syntax of the URNs follows the specification of the CITE Architecture.
For example:
The tool allows also users to type only book and paragraph of the Deipnosophists and get the corresponding CTS URN.
For example:
Correspondences between Casaubon and Kaibel references are available through the Casaubon-Kaibel Reference Converter.
The icons on the left of each paragraph are links to external resources:
- list icon : automatic alignment of index entries with the Greek text of the Deipnosophists (indices by August Meineke, Georg Kaibel, and S. Douglas Olson);
- tag icon : POS tagging of the text through the OpenNLP POSTagger for Ancient Greek.
Using CTS URNs, it is possible to export citations of the Deipnosophists down to the word level. By selecting a portion of text holding down the ALT-key, users get a pop-up window with the CTS URN that identifies the selected chunk of text.
For example:
- Ath. Deipn. 1.1: Ἀθήναιος μὲν ὁ τῆς βίβλου πατήρ
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0008.tlg001.perseus-grc2:1.1@Ἀθήναιος[1]-πατήρ[1]
