Pindare

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani almost always approaches Pindar through Hölderlin, who translated him and wrote commentaries on his odes1. He returns several times to a fragment on which Hölderlin comments, and draws from it the theme of the fear of truth23. He notes that some of Hölderlin's poems are written in the manner of Pindar's odes4 and recalls that the young seminarians read these odes5. In his sessions on musicosophy and aesthetics, he makes Pindar the figure of the purely lyrical, which he sets against the dramatic, an opposition that goes back to Antiquity67. He also places the lyrical after the epic8. He further cites Pindar as an example of a particular activity carried out within the city9. In connection with Thomas Mann, he compares him with Aragon: Pindar sings the glory of those who fight, whereas Aragon fought himself10.
