[edit] Questions unanswered

This article still leaves some questions unanswered: How do we know about dithyrambs? How many survive? What is the earliest surviving dithyramb? Is our picture of the dithyramb based on what ancients authors say ABOUT dithyrambs, or on the texts of actual dithyrambs themselves?--72.225.250.121 (talk) 20:55, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
