antická literatura v anglickém překladu we can speak of no greater contest than Olympia'
The
Greek poet Pindar (c. 518-428 BC) composed victory odes for winners in
the ancient Games, including the Olympics. He celebrated the victories
of athletes competing in foot races, horse races, boxing, wrestling,
all-in fighting and the pentathlon, and his Odes are
fascinating not only for their poetic qualities, but for what they tell
us about the Games. Pindar praises the victor by comparing him to
mythical heroes and the gods, but also reminds the athlete of his human
limitations. The Odes contain versions of some of the best
known Greek myths, such as Jason and the Argonauts, and Perseus and
Medusa, and are a valuable source for Greek religion and ethics.
Pindar's startling use of language - striking metaphors, bold syntax,
enigmatic expressions - makes reading his poetry a uniquely rewarding
experience.
Anthony Verity's lucid translations are complemented by an introduction
and notes that provide insight into competition, myth, and meaning.
