In a certain sense, this might be seen as the last link in that chain of giftexchange culture which, as an important book by Leslie Kurke has shown in detail, inspires many of Pindar’s epinician odes. Charis, in Kurke’s view, is the bond of mutual gratitude and commerce in beauty securing the genealogical and moral continuity of the aristocratic oikos; it is the mechanism by which, in the course of joyous festivals pervaded by charis, the poet, by an act of charis, repays his debt to the noble victors of Panhellenic games, themselves substantially aided in their feats by divine charis. In other words, this term codifies the community’s sharing of hierarchy, artistic ideals, and Weltanschauung, and embodies their common aspiration to immortality
