Présentation de l'éditeur
Text of this edition of the Olympian and Pythian Odes of Pindar has been constituted according to my best judgment, and that best judgment has excluded all emendations of my own. The Notes owe much to preceding editors ;it would be affectation to say that they owe everything. The Introductory Essay is intended, as the whole book is intended, for beginners in Pindar, and much of the earlier part has been transferred from a series of semi-popular lectures, the sources of which I could not always indicate with exactness, even if it were worth while. The Metrical Schemes are due to the generosity of Dr. J. H. HKINRICH SCHMIDT, who kindly placed at my disposal the MS. of his unpublished Pindar. In these schemes the comma indicates regular caesura or diaeresis, the dot, shifting caesura or diaeresis. The other points are sufficiently explained in the Introductory Essay. In order to facilitate the rhythmical recitation of the text, I have indicated the stressed syllables by an inferior dot wherever it seemed advisable, the simple indication of the KtLX a not being sufficient, according to my experience with classes in Pindar. This has added much to the trouble of proof-reading, and I owe especial thanks to Mr. C. W. E. MILLER, Fellow of the Johns Hopkins University, for his careful revision of text and schemes in this regard. My friend and colleague, Professor C. D.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
