Charis is a concept and a power of paramount significance in Pindar's poetry and 'ars poetica'. This analysis is less concerned with the semantics of Charis, than with her dynamics. In the 14. and 7. Olympian ode Charis appears surrounded by a cluster of metaphors of blossoming, love and eye-glance. These motifs permeat the whole Pindaric epinician corpus. The author sets out to scrutinize the vast scale of variations on this theme, in order to illuminate from a new vista the relationship of the Charis and the Muse, then to explain the foregrounded motif of the divine eye-glance.
