by Anne Pippin Burnett · 2005
Consisting of individual studies of the poet Pindar's 11 odes for the victors of the athletic contests on Aigina, the author addresses questions of mythicself-presentation in this book, as well as Pindar's techniques for unifying his audience and leading it into a shared experience of inspired success.
