in the year of our lord 66, the emperor nero, being at that time in the twenty-ninth year of his life and the thirteenth of his reign, set sail for greece with the strangest company and the most singular design that any monarch has ever entertained. with ten galleys he went forth from puteoli, carrying with him great stores of painted scenery and theatrical properties, together with a number of knights and senators, whom he feared to leave behind him at rome, and who were all marked for death in the course of his wanderings. in his train he took natus, his singing coach; cluvius, a man with a monstrous voice, who should bawl out his titles; and a thousand trained youths who had learned to applaud in unison whenever their master sang or played in public. so deftly had they been taught that each had his own rĂ´le to play. some did no more than give forth a low deep hum of speechless appreciation. some clapped with enthusiasm. some, rising from approbation into absolute frenzy, shrieked, stamped, and beat sticks upon the benches. someâand they were the most effectiveâhad learned from an alexandrian a long droning musical note which they all uttered together, so that it boomed over the assembly. with the aid of these mercenary admirers, nero had every hope, in spite of his indifferent voice and clumsy execution, to return to rome, bearing with him the chaplets for song offered for free competition by the greek cities.
