The Odes of Pindar
platinum prints by Greg Gorman
poems by Pindar

The Odes of Pindar printed in letterpress and in a brilliant new translation by classical scholar Scott Goins is accompanied by eleven platinum prints of Greg Gorman’s classic nudes. Pindar, the greatest lyric poet of ancient Greece, celebrated athletic prowess and male beauty within the context of the Olympic games. Gorman is photography’s leading classicist, and the work of no other living artist could better complement Pindar’s poetry. Gorman makes light itself sculpt muscle, tendon, and bone as a Greek sculptor would have carved marble. Timeless beauty is both his and Pindar’s subject. The handmade papers and foils of the unique binding suggest both the humble terra cottas and the elite shimmering golds of classic Greek aesthetics. A 21st Editions masterpiece!
