Arguably the greatest Greek lyric poet, Pindar was a controversial figure in fifthcentury Greece a conservative Boiotian aristocrat who studied in Athens and a writer on physical prowess whose interest in the Games was largely philosophical. Pindars Epinician Odes choral songs extolling victories in the Games at Olympia, Delphi, Nemea and Korinth cover the whole spectrum of the Greek moral order, from earthly competition to fate and mythology. But in C. M. Bowras clear translation his one central image stands out the successful athlete transformed and transfigured by the power of the gods.
