Summary

Pindar: Odes and Fragments

Pindar sang at the request of a certain person or city. In each ode, he uses a different metrical form, but almost all of them have the same structural scheme: actuality - myth - actuality. A sports victory or the celebration of a victory represent current events. The mythological part around the winner creates a heroic atmosphere. Pindar, as a deeply religious person, corrects myths by removing all the negative features of gods and heroes.

Fragments of those 44 odes have been preserved, which, depending on the place where the victory was achieved, are divided into: Olympic, Pythian, Nemean and Isthmic.

Pindar (552 - 443 BC), ancient Greek lyric poet. He was born in Kinoscephala near Thebes in a distinguished family of Aegis originally from Sparta. Pindar spent his whole life interpreting the spiritual world of the aristocracy, and he was not affected by the social changes that occurred almost everywhere in the 5th century BC. Kr. they bring the supremacy of democracy. He was faithful to the ideals of a society that was collapsing.

He wrote all kinds of choral lyrics: hymns, paeans, dithyrambs, prosody, parthenias, hyporhemas (dance songs), encomias, trones and epinicias (odes celebrating the winners).
