	Pindar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pindar (or Pindarus / Pindaros) (522 BC – 443 BC), considered the greatest of the nine lyric poets of ancient Greece, was born at Cynoscephalae, a village in Thebes.
		Pindar is said to have received lessons in aulos-playing from one Scopelinus at Thebes, and afterwards to have studied at Athens under the musicians Apollodorus (or Agathocles) and Lasus of Hermione.
		Preparatory labour of a somewhat severe and complex kind was, indeed, indispensable for the Greek lyric poet of that age.

	Chapter 13
		After all, Pindar and these two near-contemporaries come closest of all the nine canonical lyric poets to what we conceive as the historical period, where the continuous re-creation of knowledge through oral tradition was being replaced by the episodic recording of knowledge through writing.
		The poet is represented as respectively praising and blaming what is right and wrong; in this capacity he is the watchdog of ritual and ethical correctness, as we see in the example of the poet whom Agamemnon had left behind to watch over Clytemnestra (Odyssey iii 267-271).
		As I have argued, the medium of Archilochus was originally undifferentiated lyric, that is, sung and danced, and it developed eventually into differentiated nonlyric recitative in a complex and lengthy process of Panhellenization.

		Of the Alexandrian canon of nine lyric poets only Pindar has a medieval tradition, and that only of the epinikia.
		The resurrection of Stesichoros is liable to transform the way we look at early epic, lyric, and tragedy, and is not without consequence for Roman poetry too.
		Davies earns our thanks for the drudgery of compiling and updating, and will have his reward of fame in our citations of lyric fragments henceforth by their Davies number; but his magisteriality is unbecoming.
