GR 429 Greek Choral Lyric

Examines the body of lyric composed for group, rather than solo, performance, with an emphasis on the epinician odes composed by Pindar and Bacchylides for victors in the pan-Hellenic games. The syllabus may also include dithyrambs and paeans sung in liturgical settings and odes performed between the scenes of tragic and comic dramas.
