Zeitschrift für Klassische Philologie, Patristik und lateinische Tradition
Scholars generally assume that Olympian 1, 1 – 7 and Bacchylides 3, 85 – 87 contain priamels. I argue that these passages do not contain priamels. I suggest that we have thought that these passages contain priamels because we have not recognized Pindar’s and Bacchylides’ metaphorical language. At Bacchylides 3, 85 – 87, Bacchylides caps Olympian 1, 1 – 7, while making the argument with Hieron, the patron of both Olympian 1 and Bacchylides 3, that Bacchylides is a better poet than Pindar.
