"definition": "<i>reciter of Epic poems,</i> sts. applied to the <i>bard who recited his own poem,</i> as to Hesiod, Nicocl. ap. Sch. Pi. N. 2.2 (v. infr.); but usu., <i>professional reciters,</i> esp. <i>of the poems of Homer,</i> Hdt. 5.67, Pl. Ion 530c, etc.: also ῥ. κύων, ironically, of the Sphinx who <i>chanted</i> her riddle, S. OT 391. (Prob. from ῥάπτω, ἀοιδή; Hes. Fr. 265 speaks of himself and Homer as ἐν νεαροῖς ὕμνοις ῥάψαντες ἀοιδήν, and Pi. N. 2.2 calls Epic poets ῥαπτῶν ἐπέων ἀοιδοί: not from ῥάβδος (cf. ῥάβδος I.6) as if ῥαβδῳδός ( Eust. 6.24, ῥαβδῳδία ib. 16).)",
