Description 1 online resource : maps Contents The Olympian odes -- The Pythian odes -- The Nemean odes -- The Isthmian odes Summary "Pindar was one of the most famous ancient Greek lyric poets, and perhaps the best known of the canonical nine lyric poets of ancient Greece. He was regarded in antiquity as the greatest of Greek poets and the esteem of the ancients may help explain why a good portion of his work was carefully preserved (most of the other Greek lyric poems come down to us only in fragments, but nearly a quarter of all Pindar's poems survive complete). He is particularly known for his epinicia (or victory odes) in honour of notable personages and winners of athletic games"--Provided by publisher Analysis ancient greece antiquity athletes beauty celebrated poets elegance greek history history of greece hometowns imagery interpretive notes odes olympic games original greek panhellenic contests pindar poems recognition of achievements rhythm social and political lives unique perspective victors victory odes Notes Includes index In English Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (Site, viewed 02/02/2021) Subject Pindar -- Translations into English SUBJECT Pindar fast Subject Laudatory poetry, Greek -- Translations into English Athletics -- Greece -- Poetry Games -- Greece -- Poetry POETRY -- Ancient & Classical.
