Of the Greek lyric poets, Pindar (ca. 518-438 B.C.) 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. WilliamH. 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.<, /P>
