Pindar and the Cult of Heroes
Taking a different look at the veneration and cult of heroic men, living and dead, in ancient Greece, this book finds the roots of the Hellenistic ruler cult, and hence Roman emperor cult, in the 5th century BC. It also offers a re-evaluation of the epinician genre and extensive studies of five of Pindar's odes.
