Pindar - Ancients in Action
Anne Pippin Burnett
Pindar's odes contain invocations and prayers, but their most characteristic effects are achieved thhrough the depiction of fragments of myth. This work argues that these passages served as a dramatic mechanism by which dancers brought an experience of another world to guests gathered in the banqueting suite of the victor.
