520 0 _a"This groundbreaking book offers a fully contextualized reading of the poetry written by Pindar for Hieron of Syracuse in the 470s B.C. Pindar and the Construction of Syracusan Monarchy in the Fifth Century B.C. contends that the victory odes and other occasional songs composed by Pindar for the Sicilian tyrant were part of an extensive cultural program that included athletic competition, coinage, architecture, sanctuary dedication, city foundation, and much more ... Pindar's victory odes are an important contribution to Hieron's goal of panhellenic pre-eminence, redescribing contemporary tyranny as an instantiation of golden-age kingship"--
