The most common stringed instrument in antiquity was the lyre, or its larger cousin, the kithara. These were generally enjoyed by the 'upper crust' more than anyone else, which is why they are shown so frequently in art and literature from the era. A simple lute, known as the Pandora or pandura, was far more common among the lower classes. Its ancestors, the panduri, tambura, bandore and any other instrument with a similar name, are still in use today.
