    skolion , to, prop. neut. of skolios (sc. melos),
      A. song which went round crookedly at banquets, being sung to the lyre by the guests one after another in irregular order, the singer holding a myrtlebranch ( [murrinê] ) passed to him by the previous singer, aison dê moi s. ti labôn Alkaion kanakreontos Ar.Fr.223 , cf. Arist.Pol.1285a38, Ath.15.694a; the word first in Pi.Fr.122.11 (cf. Aristox.Fr.Hist.66, Ath.13.573f); examples in B.Scol.Oxy.1361, Bergk PLGiiipp.643 sqq., cf. Ar.Ach.532, Ra.1302, V.1222, Pl.Grg.451e (cf. Sch. ad loc.); ta Attika ekeina s. Ath.15.693f. (The name was variously expld.: (a) from skolios crooked, because of the crooked order of the singers, the bad singers being passed over, or the couches being crookedly arranged, Dicaearch.Hist.43, Aristox.Fr.Hist.59, Plu.2.615c, Sch. Pl.l.c. (b) later, the omission of the bad singers being ascribed to the difficulty or non-social character of the songs (cf. Plu.2.615b), skolion was derived from duskolon or duskolia, Hsch., Sch.Ar.V. 1217; or it was said that the songs were easy, but appeared difficult to drunken revellers, Procl. in Phot.Bibl.p.321 B.; or were called difficult kat' antiphrasin, Procl. l.c., Suid.)
