In an appendix at the end of his book Fearn has an extremely detailed discussion of the text of Bacchylides 13.155-167, based on his own inspection of the papyrus. Fearn knows Barrett’s arguments only thanks to Maehler’s references to the unpublished paper. This is a very interesting insight: one should be cautious, however, about the possibility of such simple ideological explanations especially as so few kyklioi poems from any context are reasonably well preserved, and as Bacchylides shows a preference for similar narrative effects in other poems as well: what about the ‘open’ ending of the mythical narration of Bacchylides 5, a poem for a ‘tyrant’, and the closures of Bacchylides 16 and of fr. Plutarch On Music 1134e has been attributed to a source drawing upon Glaucus of Rhegion, 5th century BCE. 9. 's Grand Hustle Records.B.o.B quickly rose to fame after his commercial debut single "Nothin' on You", reached number one in both the United States and the United Kingdom. I'll pull stuff off the www where I can. Barrett, dated to 1975 but not published until 2007.5 Not all of Fearn’s changes seem to be improvements to me (I am thinking specially of the ones on ll. It is on points of detail that the book’s strength can be more easily recognized, and the second part, on the so-called Dithyrambs, seems to me to be the most successful one. The issue has been debated, but it is noteworthy that Glaucus is quoted immediately before and after this passage, which, in any case is often supposed to go back to Heracleides of Pontus.10 It is more likely that ‘dithyramb’ was used as a shorthand label, mainly due to the enormous importance of Dionysiac choral festivals at Athens (and elsewhere at a later date). This is hardly convincing, and overlooks, among other issues, the fact that another (almost surely) Spartan poem that was very probably part of the collection of Bacchylides’ ‘Dithyrambs’, fr. Fearn next suggests that in our fragment the words to which the gates lead are not (only) “unuttered” but (also) “unutterable”, referring to secret lore connected to mystery cults. In l. 162, Barrett’s interpretation of the first trace (“foot of an upright or stroke slanting upwards or perhaps most readily (with an upright left edge and slanting right) from the left angle of α” (p. 276 n. 132) looks more convincing than Fearn’s alternative chi. It shows what a real scholar can do - I don't have enough brain power to light his candle let alone his entire library! Amphitryoniades (talk) 00:20, 6 February 2010 (UTC), I'll be making considerable use of a Google digitalized version of Sir Richard Jebb's amazing work 'Bacchylides: The Poems and Fragments' 1905. 4. Fearn argues that “later sources crediting Arion with the invention of the kuklios khoros may be simply misremembering Herodotos”, with reference to Procl. Herodotus in fact plainly says that they did (together with other Greek islands), and the fact that later on they changed their allegiances does not contradict his unambiguous statement.1 The idea that a few years earlier Bacchylides should have acted as a member of a board of “panhellenic” poets in awarding (or refusing) his patrons patents of Hellenicity, scrutinising their attitudes toward the Persians, sounds very unlikely to me, and certainly not supported by the remains of fr. Amphitryoniades (talk) 05:36, 16 February 2010 (UTC), Thanks for the reply! For the trace in line 159, which Barrett read as part of an ypsilon , and Fearn as the “small extension to the upper left (…) at the apex of delta” (p. 354), I would concur with Barrett that, once the small portion of papyrus is notionally “twisted back to its original position”, the trace would rather look as “a stroke rising gently to the right” (Barrett, p. 273). In 2006, B.o.B was discovered by Brian Richardson, who then introduced him to TJ Chapman, who subsequently brought him to American record producer Jim Jonsin. George Herman Ruth, Jr., best known as Babe Ruth and nicknamed the Bambino and the Sultan of Swat, was an American baseball player who spent 22 seasons in Major League Baseball playing for three teams. By addressing Alexander in this way, Fearn argues, Pindar warns him “about the stakes involved in warfare”. According to Callimachus “poetry ( sophia) is indeed a remedy against all diseases”. The sons of Antenor were mentioned in Bacchylides’ dithyramb and gave it (perhaps at a later stage) one of the titles it now bears in the papyrus. But nowhere have I yet found this mentioned in the scholarly texts I've looked at. Anyhow, without some scholarly support, I can't state this significant fact about B and P.
