Intimations of Immortality
The Education of Achilles
1. Readers of the Iliad have ever understood that the well-known story of Thetis' abandonment of Peleus shortly after their wedding is foreign to Homer. Aristarchus thought it a post-Homeric invention of poets1, and indeed the version to which he alludes, that Achilles was brought to Chiron when he was twelve days old, appears very likely to come from a lost poem: the word ? ?exaxalo? which he quotes his comment is one that would conveniently fil…
Heracles, the Hyperboreans, and the Hind
Cyrene and Cheiron
Sappho, Aphrodite, and the Muses
The Divine Twins in Early Greek Poetry
Alcman’s Partheneion
Jason and Cheiron
NOTHING from the extant remains of Greek lyric is more impressive than Pindar's Fourth Pythian Ode. It is the longest complete poem remaining from the period between the epic and Attic tragedy. Even in the Pindaric corpus it stands unique in its length and unsurpassed in its brilliance. Thirteen full triads make it well over twice as long as its closest rivals, which have only five. Of these thirteen triads eight are devoted to the story of Jason…
Achilles to Thetis
Thalia Delighting in Song
Bacchylides
Simonides
Alcman
Pindar
Stesichorus
Pindaro
Alcman's Partheneion
The papyrus text of the Partheneion , discovered in 1855 and now in the Louvre, consists of 101 lines in three columns. Of these the first 34 lines (column i) are badly mutilated owing to the disappearance of the left-hand side of the column, whereas lines 35–101 (columns ii and iii) can be restored with almost complete confidence. Of a fourth column nothing is legible, though a coronis opposite the fifth line of column iii shows that the poem en…
Collected Writings
The Gifts of the Gods
Hieron of Syracuse was the most powerful Greek of his day. He was also, and the two facts are not unrelated, the most frequent of Pindar's patrons. A singular feature of the four poems for this Sicilian prince is their obsession with sin and punishment: Tantalus in the First Olympian , Typhoeus, Ixion, and Coronis in the first three Pythians – all offend divinity and suffer terribly. But even in this company, where glory comes trailing clouds of …
The Broken Wall, the Burning Roof and Tower
In the Eighth Olympian, for Alcimedon of Aegina, Pindar recounts a story (31–46) that, according to a notice in the scholia, is not found in earlier Greek literature. Aeacus was summoned from Aegina to Troy by Apollo and Poseidon to help in the construction of the city's fortifications. Smoke, says the poet, would one day rise from the very battlements Aeacus built. The wall newly completed, a portent appeared: three snakes tried to scale the ram…
Heracles, the Hyperboreans, and the Hind
THE THIRD OLYMPIAN tells of the olive-tree, source of the victor's crown, which Heracles brought from the land of the Hyperboreans to Zeus' precinct at Pisa. This myth includes the further information that Heracles visited the Hyperboreans when he went to fetch the hind customarily called Cerynean or Cerynitian because of accounts in Callimachus and Apollodorus.' There is no unanimity on the question whether Pindar is telling of one or two trips …
