Most commentators on the final verses of Pindar’s Twelfth Pythian Ode have expressed a discontent with the apparent banality they have perceived in these lines. Yet there remains a number of exegetical challenges in regard to these gnomic verses which render their interpretation eine alte Crux der Erklärung. In this paper we analyze those interpretations which have addressed each of the final verses, and we state our reasons for rejecting each of them either on syntactical grounds or for their lack of internal coherence. In what follows, we shall propose a new interpretation of the entire passage, one which will show how Pindar is ellaborating a topos about the role that Time and Deity play in the fulfillment of Fate.
