Pindar rejects the current version of two myths, that of Tantalos and Pelops (O. I) and that of Herakles’ conflict against Poseidon, Apollo and Hades (O. IX). In each case, he gives two reasons for his stance: a particular reason (that the stories implicitly impugn divine omniscience or omnipotence) and a more important general reason (that it is imprudent to alienate the gods). Piety without profundity is typical of Pindar.
