| Definition / notes: | From RAE: m. Cantor épico de la antigua Grecia From The Free Dictionary: Ancient Greek performer of epic songs. During the period when there were still no fixed texts the aoidos improvised to the accompaniment of a stringed instrument. In the Homeric epic poems the aoidos are described as singers in the service of communities or kings. There were also wandering aoidos, and their art played an essential role in the development of the Greek epic poem "Se sabe de la desconfianza de Platón hacia los músicos y aedos, porque ellos con sus notas y cantos inquietantes –estimulantes, soporíferos o hasta afeminadores– afectaban la armonía de la polis.
