书籍简介

在希腊抒情诗人中，品达（约公元前518-438年）在昆体良看来是 "迄今为止伟大的灵感"；贺拉斯评价他 "肯定会赢得阿波罗的桂冠"。古人的推崇可能有助于解释为什么他的作品有相当一部分被小心翼翼地保存下来。大多数希腊抒情诗人只以零碎的形式流传下来，但平达的诗有近四分之一是完整的。William H. Race现在为我们带来了两卷新的版本，并翻译了四本胜利颂歌，以及品达其他诗歌的幸存片段。

像西蒙尼德和巴基里德一样，品达为纪念获奖的运动员写了精心制作的颂歌，供歌手、舞者和音乐家公开表演。他的45首胜利颂歌庆祝了泛希腊四大节日中的运动竞赛的胜利：奥林匹克运动会、毕提亚运动会（在德尔斐）、尼米亚运动会和以斯米亚运动会。在这些复杂的诗歌中，平达在神的恩惠、人类的失败、英雄的传奇以及希腊贵族社会的道德理想的背景下，纪念了运动员和强大的统治者的成就。读者长期以来一直在品味它们丰富的诗歌语言和图像、道德格言以及对神圣神话的生动描绘。

雷斯为每首颂歌提供了简短的介绍和完整的解释性脚注，为读者阅读这些通常很困难的诗歌提供了宝贵的指导。他的新Loeb Pindar还包含一个有帮助的注释版本和重要片段的翻译，包括赞美诗、颂歌、dithyrambs、少女之歌和哀歌。

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 Pindar also contains a helpfully annotated edition and translation of significant fragments, including hymns, paeans, dithyrambs, maiden songs, and dirges.
