Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the idea that there is a consistent correspondence between one long and two short syllables in the verse of the ancient Greek poet Pindar. The author presents numerous instances where this phenomenon, known as solutio, does not occur in Pindar's text. It is commonly believed that, when solutio does occur, it is because copyist errors have crept into the text. The author argues that this explanation is not tenable, and that solutio is not a legitimate element of Pindaric verse. The author's argument is based on a thorough examination of Pindar's extant work. He examines every instance of solutio in the text, and demonstrates that each one can be explained as a corruption of the original reading. The author's analysis reveals that many of the instances of solutio can be explained by simple transcriptional errors, while others are due to more complex corruptions of the text. The author concludes that solutio is not a legitimate element of Pindaric verse, and that the phenomenon can be explained by the corruption of the text. This argument has implications for our understanding of Pindar's work, and for the study of ancient Greek poetry more generally.
