Timotheus of Miletus (; c. 446 – 357 BC) was a Greek musician and dithyrambic poet, an exponent of the "new music." He added one or more strings to the lyre, whereby he incurred the displeasure of the Spartans and Athenians (E. Curtius, ''Hist of Greece'', bk. v. ch. 2). He composed musical works of a mythological and historical character. He spent some years in the court of Archelaus I of Macedon Fragments of Timotheus' poetry survive, published in T. Bergk, ''Poetae lyrici graeci''. A papyrus-fragment of his ''Persians'' (possibly the oldest Greek papyrus in existence), discovered at Abusir has been edited by U. von Wilamowitz-Mollendorff (1903), with discussion of the nome, metre, the number of strings of the lyre, date of the poet and fragment.〔V. Strazzulla, ''Persiani di Eschilo ed il nomo di Timoteo'' (1904); S. Sudhaus in ''Rhein. Mus.'', iviii. (1903), p. 481; and T. Reinach and M. Croiset in ''Revue des etudes grecques'', xvi. (1903), pp. 62, 323.〕 ==In literature== In post-Classical literature Timotheus of Miletus is sometimes confused with another famous musician, the aulete Timotheus in the court of Alexander the Great.〔Claude V. Palisca, Nancy Kovaleff Baker, Barbara Russano Hanning, ''Musical humanism and its legacy: essays in honor of Claude V. Palisca'', Pendragon Press, 1992, p.37. See also David A. Campbell, Greek Lyric, vol. 5, Harvard University Press (Loeb) 1993; J. H. Hordern, The Fragments of Timotheus of Miletus, Oxford University Press, 2002.〕 Rabelais speaks of the musician in Chapter 23 of ''Gargantua'' "Ponocrates also made him forget everything he learned with his former preceptors, as Timotheus did with those of his disciples who were trained by other musicians." Rabelais implies that Timoethus believed other musicians to have merely inculcated bad habits. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Timotheus of Miletus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
