Etat : Gut. XII., 173 Seiten / p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - altersgemäß sehr guter Zustand / very good condition for age - Song and Action offers a fresh perspective on the work of Pindar, one of ancient Greece's most celebrated--and most inaccessible--poets. Kevin Crotty traces the connections between Pindar's highly elaborate genre and the more general functions of praise and blame in Greek culture. He also addresses the strangeness (to modem audiences) of the victory ode and demonstrates why the praise of athletic achieve' ment was deemed a fitting subject for poetry. The book examines the significance of victory, retribution, friendship, and return home (all pervasive motifs in Pindar's work) in other products of Greek culture: poems, myths, civil institutions, and ntuals. By tracing these themes beyond the confines of a literary genre, Crotty identifies Pindar's odes as the natural outgrowth of a nch tradition of thought about the shortness of life, the nature of achievement, and how we band together to protect ourselves from the flux and unpredictability of the world. -- Song and Action differs from most recent studies of Pindar by depicting the poet as deeply traditional--working squarely in the mainstream of archaic thought--yet tremendously creative, manipulating the tools of his genre with originality and style. Crotty not only sheds new light on individual poems but also reveals in the victory ode a way of illuminating Greek attitudes toward the self and society. His thought-provoking analysis will fascinate Pindar scholars and anyone interested in the golden era of Hellenic culture.
