ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
Lyric poet (518 – c. 438 BCE), many of whose works survive and span a large numbers of genres. His work thus represents the long transition between two major periods in Greek history, the Archaic and Classical periods, and also spans a number of landmark events and processes in Greece as a whole: the Persian Wars and the rise of the Athenian Empire. Most of his extant poems are categorized as epinikia, poems commissioned to celebrate victors at the four major panhellenic festivals: the Olympic, the Delphic, the Nemean, and the Isthmian Games. |
