He is an excellent Poet, as appears from his elegant Pindaric odes.

The peculiar variation in length of line found in the Pindaric ode belongs almost entirely to lyric poetry.

In the Pindaric ode, on the contrary, where the foot is more regular, there are great variations in the length of line.

Pindaric, pin-dar′ik, adj. after the manner of Pindar, one of the first of Greek lyric poets.

A mythical narrative, connected in some way with the victor or his city, usually occupies the central part of the Pindaric ode.
