Description

Explore the works of fifth-century BC lyric poet Bacchylides with this scholarly volume from the ARCA series. This collection focuses on epinician odes that celebrate victors in the Greek Games, events that held major political, cultural, and religious significance in the ancient Greek world. While fourteen of Bacchylides' epinician odes survive in various forms, this book presents the five odes that have come down to us in their fullest form. These specific works are essential for anyone studying early fifth-century lyric poetry and the development of the epinician genre. D. L. Cairns provides depth to the text through introductory essays and commentary that explain the social, ethical, and cultural contexts of these ancient poems.
