| His Bacco in Toscana, published in 1685, is subtitled ditirambo, the Greek dithyramb being a choral lyric in praise of Dionysus. |
| Epic, and tragic poetry, and also comedy and dithyramb and most flute and harp-music, are all by and large imitations. |
| Older scholars, following statements in Aristotle's Poetics, saw in the dithyramb the foundations of Attic tragedy. |
| This was due to the introduction among the Dorians The dithyramb. |
| His father's name, Cycleus, indicates the connection of the son with the cyclic or circular chorus of the dithyramb. |
| Eden smiled at the dithyramb as were she listening to some fay she did not see. |
