Pindars Epinikien geben der Forschung seit jeher Rätsel auf - insbesondere weil sie höchst disparat wirken und den Sieger nur am Rande zu preisen scheinen. Dass dieser Eindruck täuscht, zeigt diese Arbeit anhand einer umfassenden Analyse von fünf Liedern (Nemee 8, Olympie 8, Nemee 4, Pythie 4, Pythie 9): In ihnen werden die gefeierten Sieger mittels einer kunstvollen Metaphorik des Sports indirekt im höchsten Maße gelobt und erscheinen als die Heroen der Gegenwart. Die vorliegende Untersuchung beleuchtet in komplementären Einzelanalysen exemplarisch verschiedene Dimensionen des pindarischen Epinikiendichtens (Siegerlob, Poetologie, Politik, Wert und Segenskraft des Sieges). Grundlage ist eine eingehende Einordnung der Lieder in ihren kulturgeschichtlichen Kontext und eine philosophische Klärung des Phänomens ,Metapher'. Diese erweist sich im Rahmen der Metapherntheorie des Semiotikers Charles S. Peirce als dasjenige, was die Epinikien innerlich zu einer kohärenten Sinnstruktur eint und äußerlich an ihren lebensweltlichen Anlass anbindet. So steht am Ende der Untersuchung ein vertieftes Verständnis pindarischen Epinikiendichtens und durch sie auch seiner Entstehungszeit, der frühen Klassik.

The invention of coinage in ancient Greece provided an arena in which rival political groups struggled to imprint their views on the world. Here Leslie Kurke analyzes the ideological functions of Greek coinage as one of a number of symbolic practices that arise for the first time in the archaic period. By linking the imagery of metals and coinage to stories about oracles, prostitutes, Eastern tyrants, counterfeiting, retail trade, and games, she traces the rising egalitarian ideology of the polis, as well as the ongoing resistance of an elitist tradition to that development. The argument thus aims to contribute to a Greek "history of ideologies," to chart the ways ideological contestation works through concrete discourses and practices long before the emergence of explicit political theory. To an elitist sensibility, the use of almost pure silver stamped with the state's emblem was a suspicious alternative to the para-political order of gift exchange. It ultimately represented the undesirable encroachment of the public sphere of the egalitarian polis. Kurke re-creates a "language of metals" by analyzing the stories and practices associated with coinage in texts ranging from Herodotus and archaic poetry to Aristotle and Attic inscriptions. She shows that a wide variety of imagery and terms fall into two opposing symbolic domains: the city, representing egalitarian order, and the elite symposium, a kind of anti-city. Exploring the tensions between these domains, Kurke excavates a neglected portion of the Greek cultural "imaginary" in all its specificity and strangeness.
