About The Book
Arguably the greatest Greek lyric poet, Pindar was a controversial figure in fifth-century Greece — a conservative Boiotian aristocrat who studied in Athens and a writer on physical prowess whose interest in the Games was largely philosophical. Pindar’s Epinician Odes — choral songs extolling victories in the Games at Olympia, Delphi, Nemea and Korinth — cover the whole spectrum of the Greek moral order, from earthly competition to fate and mythology. But in C. M. Bowra’s clear translation his one central image stands out — the successful athlete transformed and transfigured by the power of the gods.
