This book presents a comprehensive overview of the ancient Greek poet Bacchylides. A near-contemporary of Pindar, the author argues that Bacchylides' work stands as an equal in terms of quality and insight into the human condition, despite being overshadowed by his more famous counterpart. Through a close analysis of Bacchylides' surviving work, this book explores his life, poetic forms, themes, and the world in which he wrote. The book also explores the poet's treatment of the myths and religious beliefs of his day, revealing him not just as an important literary figure but as an acute observer of human nature. This book sheds new light on a neglected but brilliant figure, enabling us to better understand Greek lyric poetry and its enduring relevance.
