Abstract
Chapter 9 explores the songs composed by Pindar for Hieron’s associates Chromios and Hagesias. The response of these songs to their political and cultural environment illuminates many of the themes of the Hieron odes. Nemean 9, like Pythian 1, sets external military victory against internal civic harmony and features a myth that focuses on faction, exile, and elite negotiation. Nemean 1 presents Chromios as a peaceable aristocrat and pictures all Sicily rejoicing in his chariot victory. Olympian 6 models a movement from Arcadia to Olympia and thence to Syracuse, and Hieron is explicitly present as just ruler and receiver of the victory revel. In all three odes, Syracuse or Aitna appears as cultural hub. References in these odes to foundation and migration are particularly apposite for victors and cities where foundation and refoundation has played an important role. They also focus on the model of a loyal auxiliary and his rewards.
