Pindar's 'Sixth Olympian Ode' is considered one of the poet's most brilliant victory odes and this is the first full-scale commentary on it. The author presents Greek text with critical apparatus, translation and metrical analysis. There are three substantial introductory chapters, which treat matters of history (background, date, performance) and literary criticism, as well as a verse-by-verse commentary rooted in the tradition of philological exegesis, concentrating on grammatical, stylistic and interpretive features. Until now the Sixth Olympian has been praised chiefly for its magnificent and lucid presentation of the myth of Iamos, a seer of Arcadian origin and ancestor of the prophetic clan of the Iamidae. This commentary illuminates both the overwhelming depth of thought and the cunningly wrought structure of this masterpiece, contributing to a better understanding of Pindar's verbal artistry.
