 Pindar's Songs for Young Athletes of Aigina
The late Anne Pippin Burnett
Concentrates upon choral performance, audience response, and the poetic means Pindar used to control this response
Explores the ways in which myth was used to define a communal character
Makes use of non-literary evidence, such as vase paintings and the sculptures of the Aphaia Temple

Description
This book consists of individual studies of Pindar's eleven odes for Aiginetan victors, preceded by a brief survey of the history of the island and the nature of its aristocracy. Anne Pippin Burnett's discussion is particularly attentive to questions of mythic self-presentation, as exemplified in the pedimental sculptures of the Aphaia Temple and the parallel `narrative' sections of the odes. The overall concern is with Pindaric techniques for unifying an audience and leading it into a shared experience of inspired success, but there is also a concern with the realities of athletic contest and its celebration.
