They have long been a source of curiosity to scholars, particularly since they appear to mention the victor only in passing. This book, using the methodology of Charles S. Peirce's semiotics and by reconstructing the cultural historical setting, reveals that this impression is misleading: in songs with a coherent and meaningful structure, Pindar uses elaborate sporting metaphors to praise the victors exuberantly and presents them as present-day heroes.
