The I. 5. 56 - 58 is one of the few highly controversial cruxes in Pindar, though it may be an interpretative and not a textual one. The kernel of the ambiguity is in the expression 'oupis elpidon'. After examining the various interpretations the paper analyses the concept underlying the rare and quaint word 'oupis' from Homer on, which turns out to be a strong visual metaphor in Pindar as well. The author's reading of the passage: 'nec labor ingens occaecatus est, nec tot sumptus, qui aciem spei excitaverunt' is examined within the context of the poem, and the relevance of the keen visual metaphor prevalent in Pindar's whole poetry, is elucidated.

This paper aims to re-examine the arguments concerning the three main problems of the fragmentary Euripidean tragedy 'Phaethon', i. e. what character and conflict lies behind Phaethon's excessive reluctance to the marriage; who the mysterious bride is; and finally, what kind of exodos fits in the dramatic context on the basis of the fragmentary textual evidence. In author's discussion Goethe's reconstruction is dealt with closely; moreover, the poet's suggestions prove to be valuable not only artistically, but philologically as well. Some personal bias of his treatment nevertheless hints at a new articulation of the Phaethontic character in the Euphorion-episode of Faust II and a general re-evaluation of the hybris drama.

This paper attempts to solve a difficult textual problem in Pindar's poetry. Albeit the manuscripts are utterly unanimous, editors tend to correct the passage. The author, on the other hand, argues in favour of preserving the manuscript tradition. His interpretation of the line: 'immo nuper delectat Neptunum ad gentem Pelei cognatam etiam nunc transgressum materterus tuus, Pythea' might present a contribution to the understanding of the Fifth Nemean and Pindaric poetry as well. This new perspective could also suggest that some of the problems in Pindar's epinician poetry are not textual, but hermeneutical ones.
