Abstract:

Pindar’s Pythian Twelve is the only choral lyric epinicion in our
possession composed for the winner of a non-athletic competition.
Often regarded as an ode of straightforward interpretation, close
analysis of the text reveals that it presents several challenges to
modern readers. This book offers an updated translation of the text
and an investigation of the main interpretative issues of the
epinicion with the aid of historical linguistics. By identifying
devices which Pindar might have inherited from earlier periods of
poetic language, the study provides insights into the thematic aspects
of the ode as well as on Pindar’s compositional technique.
