Thucydides was one of the greatest of the ancient Greek historians and Pindar one of the greatest Greek poets, specializing in celebratory odes for victors in the great games--above all at Olympia. Simon Hornblower puts these two towering figures side-by-side for the first time, demonstrating a thematic and literary kinship.
