Timotheus (aulist)
Timotheus ((ギリシア語:Τιμόθεος)) was a famous ''aulos'' player from Thebes, who flourished in Macedon during the reigns of Philip II and Alexander the Great. He later accompanied Alexander in his campaigns. After his death, a story about the effect of his music on Alexander became a familiar reference point in literature on the power of music to manipulate emotion.
==Life==
According to Didymus he was the son of Oeniades.〔Didymus col. 12.61–2〕〔Craig Gibson, ''Interpreting a classic: Demosthenes and his ancient commentators'', University of California Press, p.97〕 He participated in musical competitions under Philip. When Philip lost an eye after Timotheus and others had performed a flute song about the cyclops, this was interpreted as an omen.〔 Athenaeus says that Timotheus was noted for his long beard.〔Athenaus, 13.565a〕
According to Suda, a later Byzantine source, Timotheus excited the young Alexander so much with a battle hymn to Athena that he jumped from his seat and grabbed his weapons ready to fight, declaring that the music was kingly. Timotheus was apparently using the "steep-rising" style.〔(Suidas. vv. 'Alexander', 5O. )〕
Timotheus joined Alexander in Memphis, Egypt where he took part in the musical competitions held there. He also performed at the mass-marriage organised by Alexander in Susa in 324.
