Whereas the last several decades of scholarship on early Greek lyric have been primarily
concerned with the immediate contexts of first performance, this volume turns its
attention instead to the rhetoric and realities of poetic permanence, providing the
first book-length study devoted to this topic. Taking Pindar and archaic Greek literary
culture as its focus, it offers a new reading of Pindar's victory odes which explores
not only how they were received by those who first experienced them, but also what
they can mean to later audiences like us. Divided into two parts, the discussion first
investigates Pindar's relationship to both of these audiences, demonstrating how Pindaric
epinicia address the listeners present at their premiere performance and also a broader
secondary audience across space and time, with Part One arguing that a full appreciation
of these texts involves simultaneously assuming the perspectives of both of these
audiences. Following on from this, Part Two describes how Pindar engages with a wide
variety of other poetry, particularly earlier lyric, in order to situate his work
both within an immanent poetic history and a contemporary poetic culture. In setting
out his vision of the literary world, both past and present, the volume ably shows
how this framework shaped the meaning of his work and illuminates the context within
which he anticipated its permanence, offering new insights into the texts themselves
and, more broadly, a re-thinking of the nature of early Greek poetic culture through
a combination of historical and literary perspectives
