Beschreibung:
<jats:p>Just about every odd year in the early fifth century B.C. has been proposed as the date of the Nemean victory of Pytheas from Aegina, celebrated in Pindar's Fifth<jats:italic>Nemean</jats:italic>and Bacchylides' thirteenth ode. Scholars have attempted to date both odes with the help of<jats:italic>Isthmian</jats:italic>6 and 5, which celebrate victories of a member of the same family and the latter of which at 48ff. refers to Salamis as a recent event. Various interpretations of the victory catalogues in<jats:italic>I.</jats:italic>6 and 5 have led to various dates for<jats:italic>N.</jats:italic>5 and B. 13. The fullest analysis of the material is that by Severyns, who argues that<jats:italic>N.</jats:italic>5 and B. 13 must be at least seven years earlier than I. 5. In his conclusion (pp. 50–51), however, he still suggests three possible dates for<jats:italic>N.</jats:italic>5 and B. 13: 487, 489, and 485 B.C., in what he considers to be the order of likelihood.</jats:p>
