English summary: The region of Delphi was one of the most important places of Greek spirituality, whose symbol was the python. The Pythic games every four years celebrated Apollos victory over the snake and possession of the site. The present volume presents Pindars thirteen odes to the victors of these competitions. French description: La region de Delphes, dominee par le Parnasse et ouvrant sur le golfe de Corinthe, etait un des plus hauts lieux de la spiritualite grecque, d’abord dedie aux puissances chtoniennes, a la terre Ge, dont l’embleme etait le serpent Python. Apollon, arrive par la mer, aurait tue le serpent et pris possession des lieux. C’est cette victoire que commemoraient les jeux pythiques. Ils se deroulaient tous les quatre ans et comportaient deux series d’epreuves, musicales et sportives. C’est aux vainqueurs de ces concours que s’adressent les treize Pythiques. Le recueil contient l’une des plus beaux textes de Pindare, la Premiere Pythique, dediee au tyran Hieron de Syracuse.
