«Odas Triunfales» is the poetry collection by the Greek poet Pindar, translated and annotated by José Alsina, published by Planeta in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).
Composed to celebrate the victors of athletic competitions in ancient Greece, these odes extol the effort, lineage and city of the winner. Pindar presents poetry as a gift granted by the gods and the poet as a seer who interprets a higher message; only song endures when time destroys material works and grants the hero imperishable fame.
The edition belongs to the Clásicos Universales Planeta collection; José Alsina, professor at the University of Barcelona, provides the introduction, translation and notes.
Of interest to readers of poetry, classical literature, mythology and ancient Greek culture, especially in editions with introduction and notes.
