Description

Einband leicht berieben. - Pindar wrote two odes for the Sicilian soldier and statesman Chromios of Aitna, Nemean One and Nine. The present commentary on the Ninth with text and translation, although largely self-contained, is meant to complement in several respects my commentary on the First Nemean (Fribourg, 1992). As I indicated in the preface to that commentary, Nemean Nine, because of its relative neglect by critics, has required more extensive discussion than Nemean One. Although the present commentary is often more detailed, the aim of both is the same: to provide the necessary exegesis and critical comment required to understand the ode as such, i.e., in the first instance, as a work of linguistic and literary art situated in its historical context. It is hoped, however, that each may also provide information useful beyond the immediate context. ISBN 9783110161243
