metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article investigates the uses to which the figures of the Muse(s) are put in the poetics of Pindar and
  Bacchylides, considered against the background of their earlier employments in elegiac and melic poetry.
  Based on a thorough examination of the evidence, it argues that the two poets pursue different strategies:
  whereas Bacchylides develops a poetic mythology of named Muses (particularly, Ourania), Pindar redeploys
  the single unnamed Muse of the earlier hexameter and choral traditions, envisioning her as the poet’s
  collaborator. Pindar may thus be seen to originate the notion of the Muse as a deity associated with poetic
  composition, as contrasted with her mnemonic-epistemic role in hexameter verse.
