Pindar's Songs for Young Athletes of Aigina (Hardcover, New)
Expected to ship within 10 - 15 working days
|
This book consists of individual studies of Pindar's eleven odes
for Aiginetan victors, preceded by a brief survey of the history of
the island and the nature of its aristocracy. Anne Pippin Burnett's
discussion is particularly attentive to questions of mythic
self-presentation, as exemplified in the pedimental sculptures of
the Aphaia Temple and the parallel "narrative" sections of the
odes. The overall concern is with Pindaric techniques for unifying
an audience and leading it into a shared experience of inspired
success, but there is also a concern with the realities of athletic
contest and its celebration.
