Talk:Carmen Saeculare

What about Pindar?
Re: It is the earliest lyric poem about which we have definite information regarding the circumstances of its performance … strictly speaking, maybe, but the claim is a little broad. Many of Pindar's Odes can be attached to the victory of a particular athlete whose name and event is known, as well as the year. Now, it's true that we aren't entirely sure when and where the celebratory ode was actually performed, in contrast to the Carmen Saeculare; still, I wonder whether this might be clarified or given context when some kind and energetic person chooses to expand this very welcome and pleasing stub.

 * According to Alessandro Barchiesi, it is "the only surviving poem in Latin of which we know time and place of a choral performance, and independent evidence confirms that this definitely happened" From this chapter.
 * I think the previous statement was too broad. XabqEfdg (talk) 04:59, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Very useful in framing the claim to uniqueness. Cynwolfe (talk) 23:37, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
