O – 7: Pindar’s Seventh Olympian Ode

by Jeff Harrison

[στρ. 1]
φιαμλαν ὡς εἰì τις ἀφνεια̂ς ἀπο χειρος ἑλων
ἐìνδον ἀμπεμλου καχλαμζοισαν δρομσῳ
δωρημσεται
νεανιμᾳ γαμβρῳ̂ προπιμνων οἰìκοθεν οἰìκαδε, παμγχρυσον κορυφαν κτεαμνων,

συμποσιμου τε χαμριν κα̂δομς τε τιμαμσαις νεμον, ἐν δεΜ φιμλων
παρεομντων θη̂κεμ νιν ζαλωτον ὁμομφρονος εὐνα̂ς:

dewy
from
a foamy
vine
from
a laden
hand

hands you
this cup
away from
him, son-
in-law

grace
hands
this cup
from
one to
another

win God’s
favor for
another
for the
victorious
Olympia
at Pytho

you, favored
you, pugilist
you, straight
from
the Father
