The Classical Review

Robert Fowler's Pindar and the Sublime: Greek Myth, Reception, and the Lyric Experience is a profound, erudite, and stimulating book.

Greece and Rome

A superb introduction to Pindar and his poetry. Fowler argues lucidly and passionately that Pindar's odes are examples of sublime literature which transcend their historical context and can still enthuse and inspire audiences today.
