Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Odes of Pindar: Including the Principal Fragments Pindar, the greatest of the lyrical poets of Greece, was a native of Boeotia. He was born at Cynos-cephalae, about half a mile to the west of Thebes. He has himself recorded the fact that the date of his birth coincided with the celebration of the Pythian festival at Delphi, a festival that always fell in the third of the four years of the Olympic period. According to the lexicographer Surdas, the poet was born in the sixty-fifth Olympiad. Ol. 65, 3 corresponds to 518 B.C., and this date has been widely accepted. The most probable alternative is Ol. 64, 3, that is 522 b.c. In support of this earlier date, it is urged that all the ancient authorities described the poet as "flourishing," that is, as being about forty years of age, at the time of the Persian war of 481-479 b.c. Had Pindar been born in 518, he would have been only 37 at the beginning, and 39 at the end of the war. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
