"These translations offer a full rendering of the experience of a Pindaric ode. Miller's phenomenal knowledge of Greek, ear for English poetry, and meticulous fidelity to the original will make this volume a treasure for any readers who wish to understand and enjoy Greece's greatest lyric poet." --William H. Race, George L. Paddison Professor of Classics, Emeritus, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill "Miller has achieved the seemingly impossible, delivering a highly readable translation, made all the more accessible by his erudite introduction and notes, without diminishing the strange beauty of Pindaric poetry."--Margaret Foster, Associate Professor of Classical Studies, Indiana University
