Pindar
Autore di The Odes
Sull'Autore
The Greek poet Pindar, a Boeotian aristocrat who wrote for aristocrats, lived at Thebes, studied at Athens, and stayed in Sicily at the court of Hieron at Syracuse. His epinicians, choral odes in honor of victors at athletic games, survive almost complete and are divided into four groups, depending mostra altro upon whether they celebrate victory at the Olympian, Pythian, Nemean, or Isthmian games. Scholars surmise that these are representative of his other poetry, such as hymns, processional songs, and dirges, extant in fragments. The 44 surviving odes joyfully praise beautiful, brilliant athletes who are like the gods in their moment of triumph. Bold mythological metaphor, dazzling intricacy of language, and metrical complexity together create sublimity of thought and of style. Pindar was famous in his lifetime and later throughout the Hellenistic world, as is attested by the story that Alexander the Great in 335 B.C. ordered the poet's house spared when his army sacked Thebes. The "Pindaric ode" form used in England in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries was based on an incorrect understanding of Pindar's metrical schemes and was characterized by grandiose diction. Pindar is considered to be the greatest of the Greek lyric poets. (Bowker Author Biography) mostra meno

Nella sua lirica Pindaro manifesta invece la piena volontà di celebrare il passato e si sente estraneo al presente, i cui ideali sono sempre più lontani dai suoi. Per il poeta l’ideale di vita è quello eroico, che il nuovo regime democratico greco invece disprezzava, per questo egli si distacca dalla realtà storica anelando ad un ricongiungimento possibile solo rifugiandosi nella dimensione del mito. E' nel mito infatti che il poeta ritrova gli archetipi divini ed eroici, gli stessi che sembrano rivivere negli atleti vincitori delle gare olimpiche.
La poesia è in grado di celebrare la gloria del vincitore, esaltando la grandezza atletica e consentendo al mortale di innalzarsi in una sfera di valori assoluti ed eterni.… (altro)
