Synopsis
Excerpt from Odes of Pindar: Translated From the Greek, With Notes and Illustrations; Vols; I and II
The vanity of the Grecians, in magnifying their antiquities, is remarkable in every part of their history. There was scarce a considerable town, or family of any note, that did not boast itself de~ scended from some god, and show a pedigree de duced from the earliest ages of the world. This fabulous and extravagant nobility served for a common topic of flattery among all their poets, not to add orators and historians: too many in. Stances of which are to be met within the odes of Pindar.
