Olympus
Ὄλυμπος
(Ὄλυμπος), musicians, Suidas distinguishes three Greek musicians of this names of whom the first is mythical, and the last historical: the second probably owes his existence only to some mistake of Suidas, or the writer whom h, copied, since Plutarch who is a much better authority only recognizes two musicians of the name; both of whom are connected with the auletic music which had its origin in Phrygia. (Plut. de Mus p. 1133d. e.)
