One arresting feature in the Aeginetan epinician songs of Pindar and Bacchylides is the idealized image of Aegina that they generate. The paper argues that this image should not be taken at face value because it hardly maps onto the fifth-century Aeginetan milieu; rather, it is an ideological construct that conceals existing tension and strife. Un trait saisissant des chants épiniciens de Pindare et de Bacchylide qui concernent Égine est l'image idéalisée qu'ils donnent de cette île. Cet article soutient que cette image ne doit pas ětre prise au premier degré, car elle ne correspond guère à ce qu'on sait de l'Égine du cinquième siècle. Cette image est plutôt une construction idéologique qui dissimule les tensions et les conflits existants
