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 culture as its focus, it offers a new reading of Pindar's
victory odes which explores not only how they were received by
those who first experienced them, but also what they can mean to
later audiences. Part One of the discussion investigates Pindar's
relationship to both of these audiences, demonstrating how his
epinicia address the listeners present at their premiere
performance and also a broader secondary audience across space and
time. It argues that a full appreciation of these texts involves
taking both perspectives into account. Part Two describes how
Pindar engages with a wide variety of other poetry, particularly
earlier lyric, in order to situate his work both within an immanent
poetic history and a contemporary poetic culture. It shows how
Pindar's vision of the world shaped the meaning of his work and
illuminates the context within which he anticipated its permanence.
The book offers new insights into the texts themselves and invites
us to rethink early Greek poetic culture through a combination of
historical and literary perspectives.
