The lyre was a simpler folk-instrument with two strings and tortoise shell body. The kithara had seven strings and a flat back. The kithara is a symbol of Apollo and he is credited with inventing it. Its true origins were likely Asiatic.. The kithara was primarily used by professional musicians, called kitharodes. In modern Greek, the word kithara has come to mean &quot;guitar.&quot;- from Forum</p><p><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/Coins2/86545q00.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>from Forum but this one has more than two?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
