Bøger af Pindar

Published in 1811, this is the first volume of a classic edition of the surviving works of Pindar (c.522-c.443 BCE). German classicist August Boeckh (1785-1867) provides the Greek texts of the Epinician Odes, plus a groundbreaking treatise (in Latin) on Pindarian metrics, a preface and scholarly notes.

One of the nine canonical Greek lyric poets, Pindar (c. 522-443 BCE) has enjoyed a brilliant reputation since antiquity. Notoriously challenging but widely respected, Pindar's poetry has been increasingly studied in modern times. In the late nineteenth century, C. A. M. Fennell (1843-1916), a classicist and Fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge, turned his attention to Pindar's Nemean and Isthmian odes. First published in 1883 but released in a new edition in 1899, this book features an introduction focusing on the practical aspects of the pentathlon, which sets a good grounding for the comprehension of the odes themselves. Touching on metrical structure, this edition then presents each ode in its original Greek, accompanied by an individual, detailed introduction and full commentary. This fascinating work will be of value to advanced students of Greek grappling with the intricacies of Pindar's complex poetry.

The Greek poet Pindar (c. 518-428 BC) composed victory odes for winners in the ancient Games, including the Olympics. The Odes contain versions of some of the best known Greek myths and are also a valuable source for Greek religion and ethics. Verity's lucid translations are complemented by insights into competition, myth, and meaning.

DEN SKØNNESTE KRANS er en komplet samling af Pindars oder, der består af en række såkaldte epinikier eller sejrssange, som har været opført af kor ledsaget af syvstrenget lyre eller dobbelt rørfløjte som fejring af sportssejre ved de De panhellenske fester: De Olympiske Lege, De Isthmiske Lege, De Pythiske Lege og De Nemeiske Lege, der holdtes hvert andet, hver fjerde og ottende år. Da Alexander den Store indtog Theben, skal han, som beskrevet af Arrian og Plutarch, kun have ladet et enkelt hus foruden byens templer stå tilbage – det hus, der tilhørte græske digter Pindar. Foruden at være barbar og en stor krigsstrateg var Alexander også en mand af dannelse. Hans far havde sørget for, at han havde den græske filosof Aristoteles som huslærer, fra hvem sønnen kan have arvet sin store veneration for Pindars digtning. Quintilian og Longinos beskriver Pindar som den største græske lyriske digter, og hans sejrsoder er de bedst bevarede græske lyriske digte. Pindars sejrssange udgives nu for første gang som en samlet digital udgave af M.
