{"product_id":"odes-of-pindar","title":"Odes of Pindar","description":"Arguably the greatest Greek lyric poet, Pindar  was a controversial figure in fifth-century Greece - a conservative Boiotian aristocrat who studied in Athens and a writer on physical prowess whose interest in the Games was largely philosophical. Pindar's Epinician Odes - choral songs extolling victories in the Games at Olympia, Delphi, Nemea and Korinth - cover the whole spectrum of the Greek moral order, from earthly competition to fate and mythology. But in C. M. Bowra's clear translation his one central image stands out - the successful athlete transformed and transfigured by the power of the gods.","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54227627999576,"sku":"9780140442090","price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780140442090_d5c43337-6be6-4d41-81d2-bf5731047451.jpg?v=1778606132","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/odes-of-pindar","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
