Pindaric Metre: The 'Other Half'

Autor Kiichiro Itsumi
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 dec 2008
Pindar is one of the greatest Greek poets, but while the metre of half of his poems is easy to grasp, that of the other half has so far remained obscure. Kiichiro Itsumi presents a new account of their metre. He separates the metre into two types and identifies a series of precise entities from which the verses are made, in this way imposing a new clarity and discipline on what had previously seemed a much vaguer process. Itsumi's analyses of individual poems include a discussion of stanzaic structure, of textual problems, and of particular lines in the stanza and their exploitation within the text. These analyses will be an invaluable resource for serious scholars of Pindar.

Recenzii

Itsumi is a master at clear exposition. Where the risk with metrical studies...is losing the forest for the trees, he sketches beforehand and summarises afterward; and the elaborate signposting makes it an easy work to navigate in.... In and of itself this book is going to be a tremendous resource for engaging metrically with Pindar.
