The Extant Odes of Pindar: Translated Into English With an Introduction and Short Notes (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Extant Odes of Pindar: Translated Into English With an Introduction and Short Notes
K Yet doubtless the drawbacks in reading Pindar, though they may be largely reduced, will always in some degree exist: we shall always wish that he was easier to construe, that his allu; sions to things unfamiliar and sometimes undiscoverable to us were less frequent, that family pride had not made it customary for him to spend so many lines on an enumeration of prizes won elsewhere and at other times by the victor of the occasion or by his kin. 'such drawbacks can only fall into insignificance when eclipsed by consideration of the far more than counterbalancing attractions of the poems, of their unique and surpassing interest, poetical, historical, and moral.
