:''Not to be confused with scholion''. Skolion (from ) (pl. skolia), also scolion (pl. scolia), were songs sung by invited guests at banquets in ancient Greece. Often extolling the virtues of the gods or heroic men, skolia were improvised to suit the occasion and accompanied by a lyre, which was handed about from singer to singer as the time for each scolion came around.〔“Poetry”, ''Encyclopædia Britannica,'' (1911).〕 "Capping" verses were exchanged, "by varying, punning, riddling, or cleverly modifying" the previous contribution.〔( Christian Werner, review of Derek Collins, ''Master of the Game: Competition and Performance in Greek Poetry.'' ''Bryn Mawr Classical Review'' 2005.05.18 )〕 Skolia are often referred to as 'banquet songs', 'convivial songs", or 'drinking songs'. The term also refers to poetry composed in the same form.〔“Scolia”, ''Wolnej Encyklopedia.''〕 In later use, the form was used in a more stately manner for chorus poetry in praise of the gods or heroes. Terpander is said to have been the inventor of this poetic form, although that is doubtful. Instead, he may have adapted it for musical accompaniment. That these skolia were written, not only by poets like Alcaeus, Anacreon, Praxilla, Simonides, but also by Sappho and by Pindar,〔( D. S. Robertson, "Pindar's Skolia." Review of B. A. van Groningen, ''Pindare au Banquet.'' ''The Classical Review,'' New Ser., Vol. 11, No. 2 (Jun., 1961), pp. 111-115. )〕 shows in what high esteem skolia were held by the Greeks. "The gods of Olympos sang at their banquets".〔Herbert Weir Smyth, ''Greek Melic Poets,'' (1900); New York, Biblo and Tannen (1963), p. xcviii.〕 The Skolion of Seikilos, dated between 200 BCE and 100 CE, found with the original music in the ancient Greek notation, is the oldest complete example of ancient Greek music.〔( "The Song of Seikilos", ''YouTube.'' )〕〔( "Skolion of Seikilos", ''The Session'' )〕 == See also == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Skolion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
