Pindar's Verbal Art: An Ethnographic Study of Epinician Style - Hellenic Studies Series
James Bradley Wells
Wells argues that the victory song is a traditional art form that appealed to a popular audience and served exclusive elite interests through the inclusive appeal of entertainment, popular instruction, and laughter. Wells offers a new take on old Pindaric questions: genre, unity of the victory song, tradition, and epinician performance.
