Pindar's Pythian Eleven is a miniature masterpiece: a poem praising
a young athlete which presents a vivid and important account of the
Agamemnon legend. Yet it contains so many difficulties (of text,
metre, dating and interpretation) that even Wilamowitz regarded it
as one of Pindar's most obscure poems. This 2007 edition (the first
full-scale treatment that the poem had ever received) provides
answers to the problems that have prevented proper appreciation of
the work. In addition to the full introduction and commentary, the
book also has a text based on re-examination of the manuscripts,
detailed metrical discussion, and a translation.
