Bacchylides
Bacchylides (c. 520–450 BC), like his contemporary Pindar, composed songs of praise for princes and victorious athletes and songs for choral performances at religious festivals. Their stylistic qualities, however, make them more easily accessible than Pindar's. This 2004 selection contains the first commentary in English since 1905.
