Book Pindar   Pythian Eleven

    Book Details:
  • Author : P. J. Finglass
  • Publisher : Cambridge University Press
  • Release : 2007-12-13
  • ISBN : 1139469118
  • Pages : 26 pages

Download or read book Pindar Pythian Eleven written by P. J. Finglass and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-12-13 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pindar's Pythian Eleven is a miniature masterpiece: a poem praising a young athlete which presents a vivid and important account of the Agamemnon legend. Yet it contains so many difficulties (of text, metre, dating and interpretation) that even Wilamowitz regarded it as one of Pindar's most obscure poems. This 2007 edition (the first full-scale treatment that the poem had ever received) provides answers to the problems that have prevented proper appreciation of the work. In addition to the full introduction and commentary, the book also has a text based on re-examination of the manuscripts, detailed metrical discussion, and a translation.

Book Pindar and the Poetics of Permanence

Download or read book Pindar and the Poetics of Permanence written by Henry Lawlor Spelman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent scholarship on early Greek lyric has been primarily concerned with the immediate contexts of its first performance. This volume instead turns its attention to the rhetoric and realities of poetic permanence. Taking Pindar and archaic Greek literary culture as its focus, it offers a new reading of Pindar's victory odes which explores not only how they were received by those who first experienced them, but also what they can mean to later audiences. Part One of the discussion investigates Pindar's relationship to both of these audiences, demonstrating how his epinicia address the listeners present at their premiere performance and also a broader secondary audience across space and time. It argues that a full appreciation of these texts involves taking both perspectives into account. Part Two describes how Pindar engages with a wide variety of other poetry, particularly earlier lyric, in order to situate his work both within an immanent poetic history and a contemporary poetic culture. It shows how Pindar's vision of the world shaped the meaning of his work and illuminates the context within which he anticipated its permanence. The book offers new insights into the texts themselves and invites us to rethink early Greek poetic culture through a combination of historical and literary perspectives.

Book Pindar  Victory Odes

    Book Details:
  • Author : Pindar
  • Publisher : Cambridge University Press
  • Release : 1995-04-06
  • ISBN : 9780521436366
  • Pages : 194 pages

Download or read book Pindar Victory Odes written by Pindar and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-04-06 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. Pindar's victory odes have the reputation of being complex and allusive in their language and reference. In this much-needed commentary on seven of the extant odes, Professor Willcock aims to open up Pindar's poetry to a wider readership by starting with a short and straightforward poem and progressing by level of difficulty to one of the greatest. The book begins with an introduction which includes sections on Pindar's life and on his thought, language and style, but which pays particular attention to the genre of the victory ode and its conventions.

Book The Value of Victory in Pindar s Odes

Download or read book The Value of Victory in Pindar s Odes written by Hanna Boeke and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2007-10-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the cosmological context of Pindar’s victory odes, and how it influences his presentation of praise. The study first focuses on gnomai as a reflection of cosmology, using these sayings to establish the views the poems reveal on matters such as the divine, the human condition and man in society. This overview is complemented by detailed literary analyses demonstrating how cosmology functions in individual odes. They show that Pindar shapes the poet persona to emphasize different aspects of the traditional world view or represent varying viewpoints so that he can praise each victor according to his particular circumstances. By focusing on cosmology the book highlights a neglected dimension of Pindar’s odes and challenges some traditional views on this poet.
