The study first focuses on gnomai as a reflection of cosmology, using these sayings to establish the views the poems reveal on matters such as the divine, the human condition and man in society. This overview is complemented by detailed literary analyses demonstrating how cosmology functions in individual odes. They show that Pindar shapes the poet persona to emphasize different aspects of the traditional world view or represent varying viewpoints so that he can praise each victor according to his particular circumstances. By focusing on cosmology the book highlights a neglected dimension of Pindar?s odes and challenges some traditional views on this poet. 410 0$aMnemosyne, bibliotheca classica Batava.$pSupplementum ;$v285. 606 $aCosmology, Ancient, in literature 606 $aPraise in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCosmology, Ancient, in literature. 615 0$aPraise in literature. 676 $a884/.01 700 $aBoeke$b Hanna$0882060 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453370803321 996 $aThe value of victory in Pindar's odes$91970300 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03088nam 22005293 450 001 9910151640203321 005 20230721043422.0 010 $a0-14-318163-7 035 $a(CKB)3710000000951537 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6048208 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6048208 035 $a(OCoLC)1156128499 035 $a(BIP)013842398 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000951537 100 $a20210901d2007 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aDog and I $eConfessions of a Best Friend 210 1$aToronto :$cPenguin Canada,$d2007. 210 4$dİ2007. 215 $a1 online resource (101 pages) 311 $a0-14-305055-9 327 $aIntro -- Title -- Copyright -- Dedication -- Condents -- Introduction -- Extreme Youth -- Mortification at the Fall Fair -- Shoes and Socks -- The Puppy Brain -- Care and Feeding, Then and Now -- Fetch… Fetch… Fetch… -- The Teen Years -- Alleged Adulthood -- Pawprinted Legacies of the Great -- Lost Dog at Twenty Below -- Merchandising Madness -- Dogs as Fashion Accessories -- Squirrels and Sisyphus -- In the Now of Mid-life -- So Very Old -- Dog in Winter -- Grizzled and on the Lam -- You Will Know When It's Time -- Walking Alone -- Dog Wonder -- Acknowledgments. 330 8 $aFrom Canada's beloved award-winning journalist and bestselling author comes a collection of essays, new and previously published, on man's best friend. In the course of 20 years of column writing about everything from politics to hockey and everything in between, Roy MacGregor has learned firsthand that the columns with the greatest reader impact have been those about the family dog. Roy has collected these columns and written many more on everything from puppy love to the sorrow of losing a pet, as experienced by Roy and the dogs he's known and loved.From his earliest moments of dog ownership, when he bundled his new puppy Cindy into his oversized, hand-knitted hockey sweater, to a present-day magical winter's walk in the woods with Willow, Roy MacGregor captures the joys, the mysteries, and the occasional if inevitable heartbreak of a lifetime with dogs.Whether it's a hilarious tour through the puppy brain or the poignant final days shared with a long-lived friend - and everything in between - The Dog and I is an homage to a life of unsurpassed companionship and unconditional love. 606 $aDogs--Anecdotes 606 $aDog owners--Anecdotes 606 $aHuman-animal relationships--Anecdotes 610 $aDogs 610 $aDog Owners 610 $aHuman-Animal Relationships 610 $aPets 610 $aNature 615 0$aDogs--Anecdotes. 615 0$aDog owners--Anecdotes. 615 0$aHuman-animal relationships--Anecdotes. 676 $a636.70887 700 $aMacGregor$b Roy$01371364 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910151640203321 996 $aDog and I$93400354 997 $aUNINA
