EBOOK Pindaric Metre
Opis
The 'Other Half'
Pindar is one of the greatest Greek poets, but the metre of about half of his odes is very obscure. This study presents a convincing new analysis of their metre, together with discussions of stanzaic structure, of textual problems, and of particular lines in the stanza and their exploitation within the text.
