Not illustrated. 1848 Excerpt: ...explained by the passage in Horace, --" Carmina non prius Audita, Musarum sacerdos, Virgimbus puerisque canto;' and who there probably alludes to the fragment of Alcman preserved by the Scholiast on Hermogenes, p. 400, Aidwalch, of which the sense is--" Come. Muse, come, and sweetly sing; Soft's the strain, and new's the string; Oh! lead along The virgin throng." Amongst his poems, mention is made of one with the title of KoXi, u$-iTM. " The Divers;" which, says Ptolomonis Hephaestion, quoted by Photius, Biblioth. was found under the pillow of Titonychus of Chalcis, just as the Hyhristodicie, a play of Eupolis, was under that of Ephialles, and the Eunidae of Cratinus under that of Alexander the Great.

For such kind of songs there was prohably a prize at Sparta; since we learn from Hesychius, that there was a contest instituted by the Lacedemonians in honour of Diana, called KaXaoiSta--a word derive...
