« Le meilleur, c'est l’eau, et l’or, comme un feu brûlant, resplendit, la nuit, au-delà de la richesse orgueilleuse ». « Et le jugement sacré des grands Jeux etla fête tous les quatre ans, il les institua, sur les falaises très divines de l’Alphée ». « Moi, le nectar versé, don des Muses, à ceux qui remportent les jeux, aux hommes je l’envoie, doux fruit de l’âme ». Voilà comment, dans une nouvelle traduction, assortie d’un commentaire, on propose de lire Pindare. Au Ve siècle avant notre ère, le poète chante, dans ses Olympiques, les exploits du tyran Hiéron de Syracuse ou du boxeur Diagoras de Rhodes, la grandeur des cités d’Agrigente ou de Corinthe, et les splendeurs colorées du chant, de la danse et de la lyre ou les joies de la fête et du banquet. Il célèbre, avec Zeus, les Grâces ou les héros anciens, Pélops, Héraclès ou Iamos, les valeurs d’une société radicalement autre, et pourtant qui, par accord ou écart, peut faire réfléchir à ce que sont, ou non, pour nous, la poésie, la gloire, la fortune, ou le sport.

Of the Greek lyric poets, Pindar (ca. 518-438 BCE) was "by far the greatest for the magnificence of his inspiration" in Quintilian's view; Horace judged him "sure to win Apollo's laurels." The esteem of the ancients may help explain why a good portion of his work was carefully preserved. Most of the Greek lyric poets come down to us only in bits and pieces, but nearly a quarter of Pindar's poems survive complete. William H. Race now brings us, in two volumes, a new edition and translation of the four books of victory odes, along with surviving fragments of Pindar's other poems. Like Simonides and Bacchylides, Pindar wrote elaborate odes in honor of prize-winning athletes for public performance by singers, dancers, and musicians. His forty-five victory odes celebrate triumphs in athletic contests at the four great Panhellenic festivals: the Olympic, Pythian (at Delphi), Nemean, and Isthmian games. In these complex poems, Pindar commemorates the achievement of athletes and powerful rulers against the backdrop of divine favor, human failure, heroic legend, and the moral ideals of aristocratic Greek society. Readers have long savored them for their rich poetic language and imagery, moral maxims, and vivid portrayals of sacred myths. Race provides brief introductions to each ode and full explanatory footnotes, offering the reader invaluable guidance to these often difficult poems. His new Loeb Classical Library edition of Pindar also contains a helpfully annotated edition and translation of significant fragments, including hymns, paeans, dithyrambs, maiden songs, and dirges.

Bacchylides (c. 520-450 BC) was one of the nine Greek lyric poets selected as models of this genre by the Alexandrian scholars who first collected and edited their songs in the 3rd century BC. Bacchylides' songs did not survive the end of antiquity, but substantial portions of at least three books have been recovered from papyri found in Egypt. This 2004 book was the first commentary in English since R. C. Jebb's Bacchylides (1905). It aims to introduce the reader to two important areas of Greek choral lyric poetry in which Bacchylides was pre-eminent: songs in praise of individuals (victory odes 3-6 and 11, and enkomia frr. 20A-D), and songs composed for religious festivals (dithyrambs, procession songs, and paeans). Among the most attractive features of his style are the well-balanced formal structure of his poems, and his vivid narrative which is capable of creating scenes of high drama and deep passion.
