Abstract
This paper investigates, on the one hand, the complex and diverse interlacing between Pindar’s Olympian 1 and Bacchylides’ Epinician 5, and, on the other, the momentous political situation in which the two odes are to be set. The civic issues Hieron had to face in 476 b.c. , in the aftermath of his first Olympic victory, and the relations between Syracuse and the whole Greek world are examined through a detailed analysis of the narrative and rhetorical features distinguishing each poem not only from the other, but also from other epinicians composed for the same patron.
