| Summary: | The objective of the present paper is to prove the inner coherence of Pindar's Nemean 6. The kinship between Gods and men which is the subject of the famous proem provides the fundamental idea pervading the entire victory ode. The divine heritage inheres human beings as their inborn potential, which needs to be realized and developed. Thus the interpretation can also be understood as a correction of the scholarship's tendency to overemphasize the dependency of men either on nature or Gods in Pindar's work. |
