Abstract

This article studies a neglected melic poem by Pindar, a hyporcheme for Hieron of Syracuse. It places the work in the context of vigorous poetic production associated with Hieron's foundation of the city of Aitna in 476/5 and assembles the relevant fragments, arguing for the inclusion of frr. 105ab, 106, 114 S-M, and for the relevance of sch. Aelius Aristeides Panathenaikos 187, 2 Dindorf. It analyzes and accepts as likely the evidence of the Pindaric sch. vet. Pythian 2.127 Drachmann that this hyporcheme was referred to by Pindar as a Kastoreion or “Kastor song,” and weighs the significance of the further claim that the poet gifted it to Hieron as a “free extra.” A survey of the hyporcheme as a melic form permits some conclusions as to the likely performative qualities of the work. A close reading of the surviving fragments follows, with an emphasis on how they advanced key motifs of Hieron's propaganda: notably, the image of himself as king and founder, and as a promoter of Dorian culture; and his efforts to assume a kind of Spartan mantle. It is also argues that the poem associates Sicily with the invention of the chariot in an effort to counterbalance the greater hippic successes already achieved by Hieron's brothers Gelon and Polyzalos, as well as the Emmenids.

免费跳舞:品达为希伦创作的卡斯特之歌
本文研究了品达的一首被忽视的唯美诗,这首诗是锡拉丘兹的希伦的拟作。它将作品置于与Hieron在476/ 75年建立Aitna城有关的充满活力的诗歌生产的背景下,并将相关的片段组装起来,主张将frr纳入其中。[105ab, 106, 114] S-M,以及关于Aelius Aristeides Panathenaikos的相关性[187,2]Dindorf。它分析并接受了品达尔史的证据。皮提安2.127德拉赫曼认为这首诗被品达称为“卡斯托里翁”或“卡斯托尔之歌”,并权衡了诗人将其作为“免费赠品”赠送给希伦的进一步说法的重要性。作为一种旋律形式的调查,允许一些结论,作为可能的表现质量的工作。接下来仔细阅读幸存的片段,重点是它们如何推进希伦宣传的关键主题:值得注意的是,他自己作为国王和创始人的形象,作为多里安文化的推动者;以及他试图披挂斯巴达披风的努力。也有人认为,这首诗将西西里与战车的发明联系在一起,以抵消希伦的兄弟杰伦和波利扎罗斯以及埃米尼德已经取得的更大的嬉皮士成功。
