Bacchylides
With the discovery in 1896 of a papyrus containing Bacchylides' work, 1,382 lines were reassembled and the poems of Bacchylides finally began to take shape for the modern reader. This book argues that, although Bacchylides is often considered a "lesser Pindar," he is a poet who warrants consideration.
