Abstract


First-person statements occur frequently in Pindar's odes and contribute to what is termed the “fictive I”. This paper adopts the view that the fictive I is a means used by Pindar. It discusses four passages where Pindar directly addresses psychic entities and assesses the contribution of these passages to the fictive I.
