Excerpt from Inest Eduardi Luebberti Commentatio De Pindaro Locrorum Opuntiorum Amico Et Patrono
Est hoc ingenium carminum Pindaricorum, ut in eis res divinae, caelitus arcessitae, ex theologiae Graecae arcanis haustae arctissimo vinculo cum rebus humanis, praesen tibus, e media vita' petitis coniungantur. Poeta modo philosophus est, ad astra oculos attollens, modo ipsius vitae pictor' subtilissimus et locupletissimus. Nam vates Apollinis, quem in Theoxeniis Delphicis (a. Mommsen, Delphica p. 802) ad epulas Apollo praeco num voce vocabat: ttivòapoc; ènì rò òeînvov Td) 6611) (eustath. Vit. Find. Ap. Westerm. Biogr. P. Ita sibi persuaserat: per universam vitam humanam divinae sapientiae semina sparsa esse, nihil tam volgare et quotidianum esse, quin luce divina penitus'per fundi possit. Ex harum rerum, volgi certe opinione saepe discordantium, felicissima Copulatione Pindari carminum tum difficultas quaedam peculiaris, tum eximia etiam atque incomparabilis pulchritudo nata est. Duas enim illo foedere ioto res lucratus est Pindarus. Primum cum amicorum suorum res gestas et fata narrat vel fabulas mythicas tamquam ex Amaltheae comu effundit, haec nunquam delectationis unius caussa afleruntur, sed ad altiorem semper sapientiam instillandam. Deinde vero cum praeclara vitae praecepta et sententias de rebus divinis recludit et aperit, haec nunquam eam speciem praebent, quasi ex philosophantis cerebro, studio operoso et laborioso, extorta sint, meditationum macie exsangui pallentia, sed vitae coloribus nitidissimis florentissimisque distincta et ornata semper incèdunt.
