Etymology

The word 'rhapsodist' has its origins in ancient Greece, where rhapsodes were professional performers who would recite epic poetry at festivals and gatherings. These skilled orators played a significant role in preserving and transmitting the oral tradition of epic poems such as the Iliad and the Odyssey. The term 'rhapsodist' comes from the Greek word 'rhapsoidos,' which means 'stitcher of songs,' reflecting the rhapsodes' ability to stitch together various poetic fragments into a coherent narrative.
