Pindar The Odes translated C M Bowra
Penguin
p xxii For Pindar, victory at the Games raised questions f metaphysical and mystical importance
p 22-3 Pythian X III
35 And the Muse never leaves the land
For this is their life:
Everywhere the girls are dancing,
And the sound of the harps is loud
And the noise of the flutes.
40 They bind their hair with bay leaves of gold
They feast and are glad
43 And sickness never, nor cursed old age
Touches their holy bodies.
p 42 Isthmian VI I
10 and pour offerings of honey-voiced hymns
p 59 Isthmians II
37 Of the valour of Aias. He ripped it in blood
Of his own sword late at night
And brings reproach to all sons of the Hellenes
Who went to Troy
the dishonour of suicide.
