It's from Strabo's Geographika, Strabo in turn attributes the story to Timaeos. I only have a German translation, a websearch for "Eunomos" will probably yield what you are looking for.

Apparently he was competing with Ariston playing the cithara and broke a string (it happens to the best of us). The Gods (all of them?) sent a Cicada (presumably a sort of silkworm) which produced such a wonderful string that he won the competition and a statue was erected to him. Does anyone know where the story comes from? Regards Monica -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
