From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With author's dedication to Jeff [Henderson]. - A very good and clean copy. - From the text: One of the many important advances in Pindaric criticism in… the last twenty-five years has been the growing appreciation of his peculiar use of first-person future verbs of singing, praising, or testifying, which all seem to refer to the present activity of performing the ode in which they appear.1 Thus, for example, when Pindar says nyn . . . keladisómetha (OI. 10.78-79), nyn . . . keladíso (OI. 11.11-14) or égó . épaskíso (Nem. 9.9-10), he is not promising to sing another poem at some future time, but rather he is talking about the poem he is in the process of performing. In recent years scholars have noted that this peculiar use of the future is not, in fact, limited to the epinician genre, but occurs regularly in parthéneia, paeans, other literary and cult hymns, and in choral passages of Attic tragedy that mimic or evoke special ritual songs like the thrinos, or the paean. - Wikipedia: Christopher A.
