Talk:Rhapsode

Last paragraph makes no sense.

Entire page makes no sense.

Well, I've removed two-thirds of what makes no sense, then. I have taken the section about Homeridae, who may or may not have been rhapsodes, and turned a long-established redlink blue. I will now edit that page (unless someone has got there before me). I have taken the section about how "Homer" performed his poems (since "Homer" does not use the word rhapsode) to a new page Aoidos, since "Homer" and contemporaries do use that word.

Whether what remains now makes any sense, others can judge (and by all means improve it!) Andrew Dalby 13:55, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
