Cithara

Apollo Citharoedus with kithara
Greek vase drawing depicting a man playing a kithara with eight strings.
Alcaeus of Mytilene playing a kithara while Sappho listens by Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1881). The Walters Art Museum.

The cithara or kithara (Greek:κιθάρα, kithāra, Latin:cithara) was an ancient Greek musical instrument in the lyre or lyra family. In modern Greek the word kithara has come to mean "guitar" (a word whose origins are found in kithara).

The kithara was a professional version of the two-stringed lyre. As opposed to the simpler lyre, which was a folk-instrument, the kithara was primarily used by professional musicians, called kitharodes. The kithara's origins are likely Asiatic. The barbiton was a bass version of the kithara popular in the eastern Aegean and ancient Asia Minor.
