He is not mentioned in Homer or Hesiod.[9] Most ancient sources accept his historical existence; Aristotle is an exception.[10][11] Pindar calls Orpheus 'the father of songs'[12] and identifies him as a son of the Thracian king Oeagrus[13] and the Muse Calliope.[14]	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-3638.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-3638.txt
