This might be extremely valuable to those translating from the original Greek. However, for the rest of us, I'd guess it's an unrewarding chore. Pindar is widely regarded as the grand-daddy of all brown-nosers. His works are often filled with excessive praise and flattery. In fact, he could be considered the patronus of all modern spin doctors. At least with donuts, you can enjoy a delicious treat and get some immediate satisfaction. While Pindar's works may have historical and literary significance, they may not offer much in the way of practical value or entertainment for the average person. So, think twice before investing your time and money in Pindar. Maybe it's time to look for other sources of inspiration and enjoyment.
