Pindar was an outstanding exponent of the lyric poetry of Ancient Greece. He wrote in a variety of genres but made his name with his epinicia (victory odes in honour of the winners in the four Pan-Hellenic games), in which he was the successor to Simonides, the father of the genre.
Today we have 45 of Pindar’s odes – Olympian, Pythian, Nemean and Isthmian.
His language is full of bold metaphors, epithets, unusual word combinations and a complex verse measure. This blend coupled with a majestic musical-vocal performance produced a grand artistic impression. The poet enjoyed great fame, not only in his own lifetime, but later too – in Hellenistic and Roman times.
