SUMMARY
The Greek lyric poet Pindar is renowned for his poems celebrating the victories of athletes in the great games of Greece at Olympia, Delphi (the Pythian Games), Corinth (the Isthmian Games) and Nemea. In this much-needed commentary Professor Willcock presents seven of the extant odes, progressing by level of difficulty from a short and straightforward poem to one of the greatest and most complex. The introduction pays particular attention to the genre of the victory ode and its conventions.Pindar, Peter is the author of 'Victory Odes Olympians 2,7 and 11; Nemean 4; Isthmians 3,4 and 7' with ISBN 9780521436366 and ISBN 0521436362.
