Items related to Selected Odes of Pindar With Notes and
Synopsis
The text of these Selected Odes is that of Bergk sfourth edition; except one change (01. II 76) to secure a readable text, and another (01. XII 15), merely orthographical, which has been made for metrical reasons. The metrical schemes are according to J. H. H. Schmidt s Kunstformen der Griechischen Poesie, Vol. I, with the necessary adaptations to Bergk stext. It has seemed necessary in this book to as.sume the re. ponsibility for everything while claiming the credit for nothing. Xo claim of originality is made for the notes. Greek, Latin, and German notes have been translated literally when they suited the purpose of this edition. To mention the authorities for each remark would be unnecessary and wasteful of space. Discussions of various explanations would be out of pliice here. He who is concerned to know the views of the different authorities must consult the larger ediffons and try to go to the original sources. Most of the exegetical remarks in Greek are from the Scholia. Brief explanations of dialectic forms have been enclosed in square brackets. Most teachers will prefer to use with their classes some other than the usual order of the odes. For their sake many otherwise unnecessaiy repetitions and cross-references have been made. Valuable suggestions and criticisms have been made by Professor F. D. A llex of Harvard and Professor L. R. Packard of Yale, but these scholars are responsible for no error.or deficiency. Yale College, Jan. 21, 1882.
