Abstract: This article examines the opening lines of Pindar's Nemean 3, which present an interesting problem from the perspective of genre. Pindar characterizes the poem in question as a ὕμνος (11) to Zeus, contradicting the position that the singular purpose of epinician is the glorification of the victor. According to this view, it is impossible for one poem to be both an epinician to a man and a hymn to a deity. I argue that we can in fact understand Nemean 3 as, at least in part, a hymn to Zeus, since victory odes instantiate praise in relation to multiple audiences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
