A poem in this genre addressed to a man “fortunate in your fate” describes an eagle “cutting the depth of air on high with tawny wings.” Another poem in this genre asks, “Creatures of a day, what is any one?” and calls man “the dream of a shadow.” A poem in this genre describes how “gold, like a gleaming fire by night, outshines all pride of wealth” and begins, “best of all things is water.” Some poems (10[1])in this genre were traditionally performed by a group that would move to the left, right, and middle of a stage as they recited its three parts, including the strophe and antistrophe. “Pythian” and “Isthmian” collections (10[1])were among the books of epinikia, a subtype of this genre, that praised the victories of Hieron of Syracuse and other Greek athletes. For 10 points, Bacchylides and Pindar (10[1])influenced Horace (10[1])with their poems in what genre that praises a subject? ■END■
