Poetics and Religion in Pindar by Agis Marinis

L'auteur, est crivain et essayiste clectique de nombreux ouvrages. Ce livre sur les berb res est pour lui, plus qu'une passion. Il reconstitue l'histoire oubli e et parfois tronqu e de nos anc tres et l ve le voile sur beaucoup d'id es re ues. La BERBERIE, appel e commun ment l'Afrique du Nord ou le Grand Maghreb, ses habitants Alg riens, Marocains, Tunisiens et Libyens connaissent peu ou confus ment leur histoire, car malgr l'abondance de litt rature, l'histoire de leurs anc tres est souvent oubli e, sciemment tronqu e ou volontairement controvers e. Si peu pr s tout le monde conna t de nom les rois MASSINISSA, JUGHURTA, ANNIBAL ou SYPHAX, il y a pourtant tant d'autres rois et dynasties berb res qui se sont illustr s au cours des si cles. L'auteur, dans un langage volontairement concis et abordable, nous plonge dans les racines profondes de nos origines, en suivant pas pas, l'histoire de nos anc tres et leur c l brit travers le temps. De quoi rehausser le prestige de ce pass commun, abolir par la m me les controverses identitaires et clairer notre futur tous.

The monograph offers insightful discussions of textual and interpretative problems concerning the analyzed passages, demonstrating a solid and confident command of Pindaric language, style, and imagery, along with a deep familiarity with both earlier and contemporary secondary literature." - Bryn Mawr Classical Review

"M.’s work makes a significant and thought-provoking contribution to the study of Pindaric victory odes, particularly through its compelling examples illuminating the relationship between the ‘poetic I’ and divine interaction... This work serves as a valuable resource not only for scholars and students but also for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Pindaric poetics and themes related to religion." - The Classical Review
