Pindar and the Sublime by Robert L Fowler
The best of Greek lyric poetry pushes at the very limits of what is possible with language and meaning.
This heartfelt study should prompt further debate about the value of Greek lyric and how to read it.. The book’s tone and pace clearly emerge from masterful teaching, making it an excellent introduction for students. * The Classical Review *
Robert Fowler’s Pindar and the Sublime: Greek Myth, Reception, and the Lyric Experience is a profound, erudite, and stimulating book. * Greece and Rome *
A superb introduction to Pindar and his poetry. Fowler argues lucidly and passionately that Pindar's odes are examples of sublime literature which transcend their historical context and can still enthuse and inspire audiences today. -- Ian Rutherford, Professor of Classics, University of Reading, UK
