Description
1624 Pindar Ancient Greek Victory Odes Olympic Games Mythology Epinikion Latin



Pindar was a 5th-century BC Ancient Greek poet who is remembered for his poetic odes. These odes were written in honor of victors and champions of athletic games and contests. He grouped these odes into four distinct groups of games – Olympian, Pythian, Nemean, and Isthmian Games. These odes praised foot-races, chariot-races, wrestling matches, horse-races, and even flute-playing. Each of these odes begins with some sort of homage to a Greek god or Muse and then aligns the athletic champion with a mythological god or hero – quite the praise!



This early 17th-century printing was published in Ebroduni, or Yverdon, Switzerland, and was edited by Henri Estienne.
