Olen (poet)
Olen () was a legendary early poet from Lycia who went to Delos, where his hymns celebrating the first handmaidens of Apollo in the island of the god's birth and other "ancient hymns" were still part of the cult at Delos in the time of Herodotus:
The hieratic poetry of Olen is now entirely lost. Pausanias wrote, "The Lycian Olen, an earlier poet, who composed for the Delians, among other hymns, one to Eileithyia, styles her 'the clever spinner', clearly identifying her with fate, and makes her older than Cronos." (''Description of Greece'' 8.21.3).〔Pausanias, The Description of Greece, 1. 18. 5 (trans. Jones) (Greek travelogue 2nd century AD) "The Delians sacrifice to Eileithyia and sing a hymn of Olen."〕 Apparently Olen's hymn reflected the pre-Hellenic role of Eileithyia, whom Olympian mythographers like Hesiod recast as a daughter of Zeus and Hera.〔See Herodotus, iv.35.1; Callimachus, ''Hymn to Delos'', 305; Pausanias i.18; ii.13.1 "Olen, in his hymn to Hera, says that Hera was reared by the Seasons, and that her children were Ares and Hebe"; v.7.6 9 (mentions Olen's hymn to Achaeia); ix.27; x.5.〕
The Delphian Pythia Boeo attributed to him the introduction of the cult of Apollo and the invention of the epic meter.〔(Hyperborea: Fabulous Land of the Far North ), Theoi Project, theoi.com. Accessed 2012-5-28.〕 Many hymns, ''nomes'' (simple songs to accompany the circular dance of the chorus), and oracles, attributed to Olen, were preserved in Delos, revered as Apollo's birthplace. "The legend which was especially attributed to him was that of Apollo's sojourn among the Hyperboreans."〔Peck, Harry Thurston, Harpers Dictionary of Classical Antiquities, Harper and Brothers, New York, 1898.〕
