Adler number: omicron,671
Translated headword: pantomime dancing
Vetting Status: high

Augustus Caesar invented this, with Pylades and Bacchylides its first practitioners.[1]
And Anagallis of Corcyra [Corfu], the female scholar, attributes the discovery of the ball[-dance] to Nausicaa daughter of Alcinous.[2]
Greek Original:
Orchêsis pantomimos: tautên ho Augoustos Kaisar epheure, Puladou kai Bakchulidou prôtôn autên metelthontôn. kai Anagallis hê Kerkuraia, grammatikê, tên tês sphairas heuresin Nausikaai têi Alkinoou thugatri anatithêsin.
Notes:
[1] A careless approximation of Zosimus, Historia nova 1.6.1, who merely places this discovery in the time of Octavian/Augustus; see in context at alpha 735. Also, the second of the pair of names should be Bathyllos.
[2] From Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 1.14D (1.25 Kaibel); cf. omicron 670. See already at alpha 1817, and again sigma 1720.
