Myth, Locality, and Identity in Pindar's Sicilian Odes - Greeks Overseas
Lewis, Virginia M. (Assistant Professor of Classics, Assistant Professor of Classics, Florida State University)
This book argues that Pindar engages in a striking, innovative style of mythmaking that represents and shapes Sicilian identities in his epinician odes for Sicilian victors in the fifth century BCE, and it contributes new insights into current debates on the relationship between myth and place in classical literature.
