Lyre restored from remains.Have been found in Athens Greece, and it’sprobably 5th or 4th century BC.
The lyre was a stringed instrument plucked with the fingers or a plectrum. The tortoise shell served as a sound box. The strings stretched over a bridge and were held in tension by a cross-piece supported on two projecting arms. Elgin Collection,British Museum.

Λύρα αποκατεστημένη από υπολείμματα Έχει βρεθεί στην Αθήνα, και είναι πιθανόν του 5ου ή 4ου αιώνα π.Χ..
Η λύρα ήταν ένα έγχορδο όργανο που παίζονταν με τα δάχτυλα ή πένα. Το κέλυφος χελώνας χρησίμευσε ως ηχείο. Οι χορδές ήταν τεντωμένες πάνω από μια γέφυρα και κρατούνταν τεντωμένες από μια τραβέρσα που στηρίζονταν σε δύο προεξέχοντες βραχίονες. Συλλογή Έλγιν,Βρετανικό Μουσείο.

hermes-diaktoros:

“Almost all non-literate mythology has a trickster-hero of some kind. […] And there’s a very special property in the trickster: he always breaks in, just as the unconscious does, to trip up the rational situation. He’s both a fool and someone who’s beyond the system. And the trickster represents all those possibilities of life that your mind hasn’t decided it wants to deal with. The mind structures a lifestyle, and the fool or trickster represents another whole range of possibilities. He doesn’t respect the values that you’ve set up for yourself, and smashes them. […] The fool is the breakthrough of the absolute into the field of controlled social orders.”
