HTML:<p>The book is an interdisciplinary study on Pythian Three, Nemean Three and Nemean Five, three Pindaric epinicians, which share a special use of the word τέκτων, 'fashioner'. In these victory odes, the term τέκτων refers to creators of immaterial objects and occurs close to the first and/or the final words of the poems, in connection with key themes, namely: health, poetry, choral performance, movement as opposed to stasis.</p> <p>The study shows that structures in which Pindaric metaphors are found have parallels in Indo-European languages of ancient attestation: Old Indic and Avestan. In doing so, the book casts new light on Pindar's language and the stylistic features of his odes, which are in a relation of historical continuity with phraseological and structural characteristics of religious hymns of Ancient India and Iran. The study reveals that *tetƙ-metaphors and "*tetƙ-compositions", i.e. metaphors and ring-compositions built by means of repetitions of "*tetƙ-words" (Vedic takṣ, Avestan taš, and Greek τέκτων), have a deep meta-thematic relevance in three linguistically related traditions and are an inherited phraseological stylistic feature common to Ancient Greek and Indo-Iranian poetic creations.</p>.
