Leiden: Brill, 2014. — xiv, 394 p. — (Mnemosyne, bibliotheca classica Batava. Supplementum. Monographs on Greek and Roman language and literature, vol. 370). — ISBN: 90-04-27739-0. Pindar’s Sixth Olympian Ode is considered one of the poet’s most brilliant victory odes. This is the first full-scale commentary on it. Adorjáni presents Greek text with critical apparatus,...
Brill, 2007. — x, 230 p. — (Mnemosyne, Supplements 285). This book investigates the cosmological context of Pindar’s victory odes, and how it influences his presentation of praise. The study first focuses on gnomai as a reflection of cosmology, using these sayings to establish the views the poems reveal on matters such as the divine, the human condition and man in society. This...
2. Korrigierter Nachdruck ed. — Basel: Schwabe Verlag, 2017. — 325 p. — (Schweizerische Beiträge zur Altertumswissenschaft 41). Modern studies of Pindar have largely neglected ancient scholarship on the poet. This is not entirely by chance, since the almost 1000 pages of the scholia vetera on the odes presuppose an acquaintance with the language and conventions of the...

Bloomsbury Academic, 2022. — 280 p. — (New Directions in Classics). Pindar-the 'Theban eagle', as Thomas Gray famously called him-has often been taken as the archetype of the sublime poet: soaring into the heavens on wings of language and inspired by visions of eternity. In this much-anticipated new study, Robert Fowler asks in what ways the concept of the sublime can still...

De Gruyter, 2023. — 266 p. — (Untersuchungen zur antiken Literatur und Geschichte 151). This is the first large-scale edition with introduction and commentary of Pindar’s First Pythian Ode. Composed for Hieron of Syracuse to mark his Delphic chariot victory of 470 BC and his recent foundation of the city of Aetna, the poem is not only a literary masterpiece, but also of central...
Steiner Franz Verlag, 2002. — 94 S. — (Hermes – Einzelschriften 87). Olympian Nine celebrates the wrestling victory in 468 of Epharmostus of Opous. Although one of Pindar’s longer odes, it has received less scholarly attention than others of comparable size. The present commentary fills this gap. A significant portion of the ode is devoted to Epharmostus’ previous victories and...
Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1982. — XX, 202 p. — (Phoenix Supplementary Volume 15). Drawing on an extensive knowledge of the critical history of Olympian One, Professor Gerber here presents a thorough analysis of the language thought, myth, structure, and poetic technique of Pindar's most famous ode. He deals with virtually every word in the poem, elucidating disputed...
Brill, 1998. — 238 p. — (Mnemosyne, Supplements 180). An edition of a newly discovered Byzantine treatise of Pindaric metre, this work first discusses its date, place of origin and places it into the context of metrical studies in Byzantine philology. It then examines its relevance for the ms. transmission of Pindar thereby providing new insights into numerous problems of the...
University of North Carolina, 2016. — 275 p. Pindar’s sixth Isthmian ode, composed to celebrate the first pancratium victory of Phylacidas of Aegina, has proven to be highly relevant for recent work on Pindar. It is pertinent for discussions of symposia and symposiastic literature, epinician performance, other odes to boy victors, and Aeginetan society and literature. Yet, it...
De Gruyter, 2005. — 148 p. — (Sammlung wissenschaftlicher Commentare). This work provides new editions with introduction and commentary of five odes from Pindar's Nemeans. Three celebrate victories won by Aeginetans at the Nemean games (Nemeans 4, 6, and 8). The remaining two are drawn from the appendix to the book: Nemean 10, for the Argive wrestler Theaeus and his family,...
Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2004. — 454 p. This book discusses a relationship between Thucydides and Pindar not so far acknowledged in modern scholarship. It argues that ancient critics were right to detect stylistic similarities between these two great exponents of the ‘severe style’ in prose and verse. In Part One the book explores the background of epinikian poetry and...
Oxford University Press, 2007. — 480 p. Ancient sport made a huge if indirect contribution to the literature of ancient Greece, since some sixty poems by Pindar and Bacchylides ("epinikian odes"), written to commemorate victories, survive from the Classical period. This book is a collection of essays about that literature, and about the social and physical context for which it...
Brill, 1985. — viii, 181 p. — (Mnemosyne, Supplements 85). In contrast with previous methodologies which seek ''key ideas'' or functional ''programs,'' this book argues that the unique complexity of Pindar's choral lyric can be better understood by analysis of each text's logical configuration as a network of interacting polarities and analogies. Against the backdrop of...
Cornell University, 2010. — 228 p. As pointed out by Richard Hamilton, 'commentaries on individual odes are arguably the most obvious need in Pindaric scholarship' (Bryn Mawr Classical Review 1999.01.01). My dissertation is a small step toward satisfying this need. The choice of the Third and Fourth Isthmians has been motivated by the lack of a thorough and upto-date commentary...
McGill University, 1992. — 114 p. This commentary to Pindar's Nemean 6 was inspired as much by the absence of recent modern criticism as by the presence of those venerable works on the Nemean odes by Fennell, Bury and Farnell. I determined to examine these commentaries in particular since they are basic to any critical approach. I next determined to include more contemporary...
McGill University, 2000. — 230 p. This professes to be a poetic commentary to the Nemean odes of Pindar. It argues for a re-evaluation of this poet's epinikia as poetry and has taken as its principal focus the stuff that is critically ignored or devalued. Much that Pindar writes is difficult in that it is at once dense and dynamic, obedient to the strictures of a genre and yet...
De Gruyter 2010. — 382 p. — (Untersuchungen zur antiken Literatur und Geschichte 102). The Greek poet Pindar (c. 520-440 BC) wrote odes honouring the victors of Greek sporting festivals such as the Olympic Games. They have long been a source of curiosity to scholars, particularly since they appear to mention the victor only in passing. This book, using the methodology of...
Oxford University Press, 2019. — 304 p. Myth, Locality, and Identity in Pindar’s Sicilian Odes argues that Pindar engages in a striking, innovative style of mythmaking that represents and shapes Sicilian identities in his epinician odes for Sicilian victors in the fifth century BCE. While Sicily has been thought to be lacking in local traditions for Pindar to celebrate, this...

Myth, Locality, and Identity in Pindar’s Sicilian Odes argues that Pindar engages in a striking, innovative style of mythmaking that represents and shapes Sicilian identities in his epinician odes for Sicilian victors in the fifth century BCE. While Sicily has been thought to be lacking in local traditions for Pindar to celebrate, this...
University of St Andrews, 1989. — 348 p. Pythian 4 is Pindar's grandest ode. It was commissioned along with Pythian 5 to celebrate the chariot victory at Delphi of Arcesilas IV of Cyrene. The lengthy myth of Pythian 4 narrates the tale of Jason and the Argonauts, long established in the Greek mythic tradition. Pindar's treatment of this tradition to create his myth is examined....
Routledge, 2024. — 223 p. — (Routledge Monographs in Classical Studies). This book delves into the intricate and, as argued, essential relationship between poetics and religion in Pindar. It explores how performance, cult, and religious attitudes intersect, offering readers a nuanced approach to Pindaric poetry concerning the relationship between mortals and the divine. Marinis...
Brill, 2024. — 282 p. — (Ancient Languages and Civilizations 6). 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...
Peter Lang AG, 2015. — 343 p. — (Sapheneia: Beitraege zur klassischen Philologie / Contributions à la philologie classique / Contributions to Classical Philology 18). The late Bruce Karl Braswell worked on Pindar for decades. Besides many smaller contributions, his research resulted in fundamental commentaries on Pythian Four (1988), Nemean One (1992), and Nemean Nine (1998),...
University of Michigan Press, 2023. — 354 p. In Reciprocity, Truth, and Gender in Pindar and Aeschylus , author Arum Park explores two notoriously difficult ancient Greek poets and seeks to articulate the complex relationship between them. Although Pindar and Aeschylus were contemporaries, previous scholarship has often treated them as representatives of contrasting worldviews....
Franz Steiner Verlag Wiesbaden GmbH, 2021. — 175 p. — (Hermes Einzelschriften 121). "La fiaba di un eroe corinzio, il forte Bellerofonte: di come un giorno domò il gran corsiero alato, Pegaso, con lˈaiuto di briglie vedute in sogno eppure vere: un regalo di Atena nel cuore della notte. È il poeta Pindaro (V secolo a. C.) a raccontarcela in versi composti per onorare un suo...
Brill, 1999. — xii, 724 p. — (Mnemosyne Supplements 197). A study of three epinicia of Pindar, which have in common that they celebrate victories of Aeginetan athletes and that they respond to the contemporary political situation in Aegina and to circumstances of the victory. The primary objective of this book is to provide an interpretation of each of the three odes as...
Hildesheim: Georg Olms, 1961. — vi, 498 p. Классический словарь к Пиндару. Mit Genehmigung des Verlages B. G.Teubner, Stuttgart, veranstalteter Nachdruck der Auflage 1883 Leipzig.
University of Texas – Austin, 2018. — 208 p. As an object of study, Pindar and riddles may seem a natural union of text and subject matter, since Pindar’s poetry is often judged by modern critics to be obscure. However, the notion of Pindar’s obscurity, a late critical development, says more about our own poetic tastes than the about cultural systems which produced epinician...
University of Oxford, 2015. — 460 p. The thesis is a commentary on four Pindaric odes for the Emmenid dynasty of Acragas: Olympian 2, Olympian 3, Pythian 6, Isthmian 2. The main introduction sets out the Emmenid odes' historical context, and the commentary's approach to them in relation to Pindaric scholarship. There follows a synopsis of the textual readings adopted,...
Oxford University Press, 2018. — 384 p. — (Oxford Classical Monographs). — ISBN 978-0-19-882127-4, 978-0-19-255440-6. Recent scholarship on early Greek lyric has been primarily concerned with the immediate contexts of its first performance. This volume instead turns its attention to the rhetoric and realities of poetic permanence. Taking Pindar and archaic Greek literary...
London: Gerald Duckworth & Co. Ltd., 1986. — 180 p. Pindar (c. 518-438 B.C.), one of ancient Greece's most famous lyric poets, is perhaps best known for his victory (epinicean) odes, written to honor the winners at various sets of games, such as the Olympiad. In Crown of Song, Deborah Steiner's study of these odes, she writes "If Pindar is remote from us in genre, his style...
Radboud University Nijmegen, 1991. — 262 p. The goal of this study is to offer a better understanding of Pindar's dithyrambs. In the first chapter I will give an overview of the dithyrambic genre and try to define Pindar's position within it. Conclusions cannot be drawn with certainty because no complete dithyramb of Pindar is known to us, and because the tradition of the genre...

These are preceded by a large number of notes on Olympian 1, intended to form a supplement to D.E. Gerber's edition (1982). The author has tried to explain peculiarities of grammar and...
De Gruyter, 2019. — 140 p. — (Volume in the series Untersuchungen zur antiken Literatur und Geschichte 137). Pindar sings of successful athletes in his victory odes. But what part does the poet ascribe to people themselves in their success, but also in their failure? This book examines the role played in Pindar's view of man by factors such as natural disposition, the...
