View all books by Bruno (Fellow and Tutor in Greek and Latin Languages and Literature CurrieDescription of Pindar and the Cult of Heroes
A radical new appraisal of the veneration and cult of heroic men, living and dead, in ancient Greece. Bruno Currie finds the roots of the Hellenistic ruler cult, and hence Roman emperor cult, in the 5th century BC (and earlier), and identifies Pindar's victory odes as a crucial stage in this process.
