The preeminent lyric poet of ancient Greece.

Ofthe Greek lyric poets, Pindar (ca. 518–438 BC) was “by far the greatestfor the magnificence of his inspiration” in Quintilian’s view; Horacejudged him “sure to win Apollo’s laurels.” The esteem of the ancientsmay help explain why a good portion of his work was carefully preserved.Most of the Greek lyric poets come down to us only in bits and pieces,but nearly a quarter of Pindar’s poems survive complete. William H. Racenow brings us, in two volumes, a new edition and translation of thefour books of victory odes, along with surviving fragments of Pindar’sother poems.

Like Simonides and Bacchylides, Pindar wroteelaborate odes in honor of prize-winning athletes for public performanceby singers, dancers, and musicians. His forty-five victory odescelebrate triumphs in athletic contests at the four great Panhellenicfestivals: the Olympic, Pythian (at Delphi), Nemean, and Isthmian games.In these complex poems, Pindar commemorates the achievement of athletesand powerful rulers against the backdrop of pine favor, humanfailure, heroic legend, and the moral ideals of aristocratic Greeksociety. Readers have long savored them for their rich poetic languageand imagery, moral maxims, and vivid portrayals of sacred myths.

Raceprovides brief introductions to each ode and full explanatoryfootnotes, offering the reader invaluable guidance to these oftendifficult poems. His Loeb Pindar also contains a helpfully annotatededition and translation of significant fragments, including hymns,paeans, dithyrambs, maiden songs, and dirges.
