Book Description
Olympian Nine celebrates the wrestling victory in 468 of Epharmostus of Opous. Although one of PindarAes longer odes, it has received less scholarly attention than others of comparable size. The present commentary fills this gap. A significant portion of the ode is devoted to EpharmostusAe previous victories and an appendix analyses how victory catalogues are treated elsewhere by Pindar as well as by Bacchylides and agonistic epigrams. "There are a thousand things to treasure here; details are a steep path and require too much discussion to give a sense of the whole. IAell put it simply: Gerber makes hard scholarship look easy. The wise will store up against future need." Classical World
