Re: Alexander and Pindar
Pindar was one of the more revered Greek poets, and one of their nine lyric poets. He lived Thebes and might have allowed current events in politics and intergreek rivalry (specifically with Athens) influence his work. He died close to a 100 years before Alexander took the city.
