An introduction and metrical outline precede each poem, and ample notes accompany the text. 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. Notre edition expose de maniere detaillee l’histoire des jeux et du sanctuaire. La notice generale presente en outre l’histoire du recueil et de la tradition manuscrite. Chaque poeme, notamment la Premiere Pythique dediee a Hieron de Syracuse, et qui est un des plus beaux textes de Pindare, est precede d’une notice ainsi que du schema metrique, et accompagne d’abondantes notes.
