Rhapsodists

or rhapsodes
originally epic poets of ancient Greece who recited their own verses in public; by
the 6th century BC the term was generally used of the professional reciters of other
people’s poems, especially those who declaimed the poems of Homer at various
festivals, without instrumental accompaniment, merely holding a branch of bay in
the hand.
