| Abstract | |
This study describes and characterizes three of poetic genres which, according to tradition, had been practiced by Pindar: hyporchemata, parthenia and prosodia. The description was mainly carried out from the study of the testimonies of ancient authors, from the analysis of the remaining fragments of these genres and from the discussion of knowledge accumulated by modern criticism on the issue. We sought to define what each of these genres, its origin, its basic characteristics, differences and similarities with respect to the other melic genres, purpose, occasion for which were made, the situation in which they were executed and the main authors who practiced them. In addition, we performed a detailed comment of pindaric fragments classified in these genres, highlighting issues related to the poetic, historical, mythical, lexical, textual and metrics dimensions, seeking to interpret each fragment. Additionally, it was discussed the classification, by ancient sources and the modern editors, of these fragments in the genres studied. Finally, we performed a translation of these odes to the Portuguese. (AU) | |
