Abstract
This chapter comprises a narratological analysis of Pindar’s longest victory-ode, Pythian 4, composed to celebrate a chariot victory at Delphi of Arcesilas IV, the Battiad king of Cyrene. Through a close reading of the ode as a colonisation-story, and through comparison with the traditions set out by Herodotus in his Libyan logos, it examines Pindar’s handling of oral and poetic tradition, and the connection between poetic form and political/social ideology.
