A lyre is a type of sting instrument similar to a harp and widely used in Greek antiquity and later periods.
History
During the Peloponnesian War, Spartan misthios Kassandra met a lyre player named Timon near the port of Orchomenos in Boeotia. He played a sad song, hoping that if he played the instrument near water his brother would hear as he traveled down the Styx into the afterlife.[1] At another point in her life, Kassandra met the poet Praxilla and recovered her lyre, though it had been damaged.[2] She then helped Praxilla's lyre maker Timycha collect the needed materials for the repair.[3]
In the 1st century BCE Medjay Bayek of Siwa met the famous bard Fire Eyes and retrieved his lyre from a shipwreck.[4]
