Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Breviary Treasures: The Olympian and Pythian Odes of Pindar Pindar, the most illustrious of the lyric poets of Greece, was born at Kynoskephale, near Thebes, in Boeotia, about 520 B. C. The pretty legend of the prophetic bees settling on his infant lips and leaving their honey there, hints at his early inclination for music and poetry. His mother, Myrto or Myrtis, herself a lyric poet, first taught him to combine simplicity and elegance in his verse. Later the beautiful Corinna became his instructor. He was taught to play the lyre by Lasos of Hermione, famous as a musician and dithyrambic poet. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
