    HipparchusClassical · Greek

    The professional reciters of epic poetry whom Hipparchus is said to have required to perform Homer's poems in relay at the Panathenaea.

    I mean my and your fellow-citizen, Pisistratus’s son Hipparchus, of Philaidae, who was the eldest and wisest of Pisistratus’s sons, and who, among the many goodly proofs of wisdom that he showed, first brought the poems of Homer into this country of ours, and compelled the rhapsodes at the Panathenaea to recite them in relay, one man following on another, as they still do now.
