Bacchylides wrote masterful choral poetry of many types. Other fifth-century BCE lyricists included: Myrtis, Telesilla of Argos, Timocreon of Rhodes, Charixena, Diagoras of Melos, Ion of Chios, and Praxilla of Sicyon. More of Boeotian Corinna's (third-century BCE?) poetry survives than that of any other Greek woman poet except Sappho.

These choral odes celebrate victories in the Pythian, Isthmian, Nemean and Olympic games and chronicle the classic gods and heroes, revealing to readers the spirit and world of Golden Age Greece. First published in 1961, the paperback edition includes a translator's note by Fagle.

With the discovery in 1896 of a papyrus containing Bacchylides' work, 1,382 lines were reassembled and the poems of Bacchylides finally began to take shape for the modern reader. This book argues that, although Bacchylides is often considered a "lesser Pindar," he is a poet who warrants consideration.
