	Bacchylides
		Bacchylides, Greek lyric poet, was born at Iulis, in the island of Ceos.
		Bacchylides, on the other hand, has a gentle flow of simple epic narrative; he relies on the interest of the story as a whole, rather than on his power of presenting situations.
		The moralizing of Bacchylides is rather an utterance of quiet meditation, sometimes recalling the strain of lonian gnomic elegy.

		The poems of Bacchylides were numerous and of various kinds.
		It is, therefore, difficult to form an independent opinion of their poetical value; but as far as we can judge from what has come down to us, Bacchylides was distinguished, like Simonides, for the elegance and finish of his compositions.
		Besides his lyrical poems there are two epigrams in the Greek Anthology attributed to Bacchylides, one in the Doric and the other in the Ionic dialect, and there seems no reason to doubt their genuineness.

		Two very different paeans, Bacchylides 17 and the Erythraean paean, are the subject of chapter 4, the one a long narrative poem that the Alexandrians classified as a dithyramb, and the other a song made up largely of pre-existing formal elements.
		He argues that the Alexandrians had mistakenly assigned the poem to Bacchylides' dithyrambs because it is a narrative: Theseus leaps into the sea, after being challenged to that feat by Minos, and returns safe and sound to his comrades, honored and fted by the gods of the sea.
		That Bacchylides was here pushing the genre to its limits is possible but in view of our limited knowledge of the form taken by such ceremonial paeans not quite certain.

		Bacchylides was the nephew (sister's son) and protege of the famous poet Simonides, and it was to Simonides' sponsorship that Bacchylides owed much of his worldly success.
		, Bacchylides accompanied the 80-year-old Simonides to the court of Hieron (1), ruler of the Sicilian-Greek city of Syracuse.
		There Bacchylides and Simonides are said to have been engaged in an unfriendly rivalry with the Theban poet Pindar, who was visiting Sicily in those years and was probably close to Bacchylides' age.

		But, since we know tragedy was in existence by 530 B.C. and probably somewhat before then, Bacchylides cannot have composed the early type of dithyramb to which Aristotle refers when he says that tragedy arose from dithyramb.
		Bacchylides, because when their song finished they were still caught in their fictional situation, still on the razor's edge.
		If they simply turned and took themselves off, the effect must have been curiously anticlimactic, and it may be that their exit was covered by another more urgent trumpet call, or a warning roll of drums.

		The Tyrant and the Gentleman: Bacchylides 17 as Agon
		The narrative of Bacchylides’ seventeenth ode takes the form of a conflict between Theseus and Minos on the voyage from Athens to Crete, as Theseus protests Minos’ treatment of an Athenian girl he finds attractive.
		By describing how Theseus stands in the way of Minos’ desire, Bacchylides shows that the proprieties that make possible the bonds of marriage between noble families take precedence over desires of even the most powerful kings.

		Formalism in the study of Pindar and Bacchylides, a development from Bundy's rhetorical approach, has sometimes taken an extreme and reductive form, in which general reflections appear to be merely a way to move from one segment to the next and their content is almost irrelevant.
		In that case, Bacchylides means that a man who even attempts great things achieves honor in his lifetime, while success in them brings imperishable glory.
		The final claim of this chapter, that Bacchylides' adaptation to different clients means that we should not try to see Bacchylides' ethical views as a whole, seems to me a non sequitur.

		The culmination of the ode in praise of a successful colonial foundation, it is argued, is the key to the principles on which Bacchylides has selected and moulded the mythological elements that he deploys in the rest of the ode.
		Proetus’ foundation of Tiryns resolves the civil strife which threatened to destroy Argos and commends colonization as a means of social and political progress; while the cult of Artemis at Lousoi, founded to expiate the Proetids’ offence against Hera, emphasizes the role of marriage in maintaining the strength and solidarity of the community.
		In constructing mythical narratives that are exemplary for the victor and his community, Bacchylides departs from mythological tradition in significant respects and in ways which suggest that the ode’s argument reflects both the victor’s status in the community and perhaps also the circumstances of its own performance.

		The poem implies that Bacchylides had already visited Syracuse before this date as a guest of Hieron, whose later victories in the Pythian horse race of 470 and the Olympian chariot race of 468 he celebrated in Odes 4 and 3, respectively.
		Bacchylides' style is simpler, if less sublime, than Pindar's; he excels in narrative and in clarity of expression.
		Like Simonides, Bacchylides wrote dithyrambs for the Dionysian festival at Athens, notably the unique Ode 18, which is semidramatic, taking the form of a dialogue between Theseus' father, Aegeus, and an answering chorus of followers.

		He lived and wrote in the early Classical Age and is said to have composed poems for Hieron of Syracuse in 476 BCE.
		The last datable reference to him comes fairly late, around 452 BCE, so his career as a poet could have begun only around 500 BCE at the earliest.
		But, since we know tragedy was in existence by 530 BCE and probably somewhat before then, Bacchylides cannot have composed the early type of dithyramb to which Aristotle refers when he says that tragedy arose from dithyramb.
