Fresh material having come to light, a new edition of the poems ( Die Gedichte des Paulus Diaconus ) has been edited by Karl Neff ( Munich, 1908 ), who denies, however, the attribution to Paul of the most famous poem in the collection, the Ut queant laxis, a hymn to St. John the Baptist, which Guido d ' Arezzo fitted to a melody which had previously been used for Horace's Ode 4. 11.

Bacchylides's first notable success came sometime after 500 BC with commissions from Athens for the great Delian festival ( Ode 17 ) and from Macedonia for a song to be sung at a symposium for the young prince, Alexander I ( fr.

Soon he was competing with Pindar for commissions from the leading families of Aegina and, in 476 BC, their rivalry seems to have reached the highest levels when Bacchylides composed an ode celebrating Hieron's first victory at the Olympian Games ( Ode 5 ).

Pindar celebrated the same victory but used the occasion to advise the tyrant of the need for moderation in one's personal conduct ( Pindar's Olympian Ode 1 ), whereas Bacchylides probably offered his own ode as a free sample of his skill in the hope of attracting future commissions.

Pindar also composed a celebratory ode for this victory ( Pindar's Pythian Ode 1 ), including however stern, moral advice for the tyrant to rule wisely.

The debt however was mutual and Bacchylides borrowed from tragedy for some of his effects – thus Ode 16, with its myth of Deianeira, seems to assume audience knowledge of Sophocles's play, Women of Trachis, and Ode 18 echoes three plays – Aeschylus's Persians and Suppliants and Sophocles's Oedipus Rex.

These narrative qualities were modelled largely on the work of Stesichorus, whose lyrical treatment of heroic myth influenced, for instance, Ode 5.

Many of his epithets however serve a thematic and not just a decorative function, as for instance in Ode 3, where the " bronze-walled court " and " well-built halls " of Croesus ( Ode 3. 30 – 31 and 3. 46 ) contrast architecturally with the " wooden house " of his funeral pyre ( Ode 3. 49 ), in an effect that aims at pathos and which underscores the moral of the ode.

The image of the eagle occurs in Ode 5, which was composed for Hieron of Syracuse in celebration of his Olympic victory with the race-horse Pherenicus in 476 BC.

Pindar's Olympian Ode 1 celebrates the same race and the two poems allow for some interesting comparisons.

Moreover Bacchylides's line " So now for me too countless paths extend in all directions " has a close resemblance to lines in one of Pindar's Isthmian Odes ( 1. 1 – 2 ), " A thousand ways ... open on every side widespread before me " but, as the date of Pindar's Isthmian Ode is uncertain, it is not clear in this case who was imitating whom.
