Summary note

The Greek poet Pindar composed victory odes for winners in the ancient Games, including the Olympics. The 'Odes' contain versions of some of the best known Greek myths and are also a valuable source for Greek religion and ethics. Verity's lucid translations are complemented by insights into competition, myth, and meaning.
