Pindar blev født i Theben og er den bedst bevarede af de gamle græske lyriske digtere. Selvom han skrev forskellige former for korpoesi (dithyramber, sange, klagesange), hvoraf kun fragmenter er bevaret, skiller han sig særligt ud i epinisk poesi, det vil sige sejrsatser bestilt til ære for vindere ved de panhellenske lege.
De fire bøger af hans epiniske odes (Olympiske, Pythiske, Isthmiske og Nemeanske odes) er bevaret i deres helhed. Pindar viet sådanne odes til fremtrædende figurer i sin tid, herunder Hiero af Syrakus, Theron af Acragas og Diagoras af Rhodos.
Han priste typisk vinderens hjemland, lokale mytiske traditioner, familiearv og personlige dyder. For Pindar var sejr resultatet af vinderens medfødte fremragendehed, kombineret med ordentlig træning og gudernes nåde.
Pindar var beundret siden oldtiden for sin hævede og storslåede stil, sin dristige sprogbrug og den dybt alvorlige tilgang, han havde til sin poetiske kunst.

Pindar was born in Thebes and is the best-preserved of the ancient Greek lyric poets. Although he composed various forms of choral poetry (dithyrambs, hymns, laments), of which only fragments survive, he particularly distinguished himself in epinician poetry, that is, victory odes commissioned in honor of winners in Panhellenic games.
The four books of his epinician odes (Olympian, Pythian, Isthmian, and Nemean Odes) have been preserved in their entirety. Pindar dedicated such odes to prominent figures of his time, including Hieron of Syracuse, Theron of Acragas, and Diagoras of Rhodes.
He typically praised the victor’s homeland, local mythical traditions, family lineage, and personal virtues. For Pindar, victory was the result of the winner’s innate excellence, combined with proper training and the favor of the gods.
Pindar was admired since antiquity for his elevated and grand style, his bold use of language, and the profound seriousness with which he approached his poetic art.
