Abstract

Remarks on the content and structure of Pindar’s Pythian 8, his last epinikion. The author highlights how the usual motifs of the genre are combined in a way that, without ceasing to be connected with the celebrated victory, they have also a permanent value, not limited by the historical context. Of particular importance are the gnomic and reflective element, the presence of the figure of the poet and of the poetic function, and the harmony in the structuring of the parts of the ode.
