in the ancient music and poetry, a sort of poets among the Greeks, who went about fingering little gay poems or songs, somewhat graver than the Ionic pieces, accompanied with some instrument. From the streets they were at last introduced into tragedy, HILARY tragedie, as the magodi were into comedy. They appeared drest in white, and were crowned with gold. At first they wore thoes; but afterwards they assumed the crepida, being only a sole tied over with a strap.
