Pindar's Pythian Eleven is a miniature masterpiece: a poem praising a young athlete which presents a vivid and important account of the Agamemnon legend. Yet it contains so many difficulties (of text, metre, dating and interpretation) that even Wilamowitz regarded it as one of Pindar's most obscure poems. This 2007 edition (the first full-scale treatment that the poem had ever received) provides answers to the problems that have prevented proper appreciation of the work. In addition to the full introduction and commentary, the book also has a text based on re-examination of the manuscripts, detailed metrical discussion, and a translation.

Ce livre donne une analyse détaillée de l’ensemble des scènes dialoguées de l’Agamemnon d’Eschyle, pièce qui ouvre la trilogie de l’Orestie (458 avant J.-C.). Il fait suite à l’ouvrage publié par Jean Bollack et Pierre Judet de La Combe, L’Agamemnon d’Eschyle. Le texte et ses interprétations, qui traitait des parties chorales de cette œuvre. La pièce se trouve ainsi commentée dans sa totalité. La perspective choisie est multiple : l’examen précis de la lettre du texte (qui débouche sur de très nombreuses interprétations nouvelles) s’accompagne d’une réflexion suivie sur la nature de la tragédie, sur ses innovations, sa langue, la manière dont elle construit le discours de ses personnages et sur l’histoire des lectures de ce drame depuis l’Antiquité. L’essai introductif fait le point sur les conflits d’interprétation que la tragédie a suscités chez les Modernes, et sur les questions générales qui se posent à l’interprète d’un tel texte : pertinence, ou non, du concept de tragique pour lire une tragédie ancienne, définition de ce qu’est un personnage dramatique, relation d’une telle œuvre avec ce que l’on sait de la langue, du droit, du mythe, de la poésie au ve siècle avant J.-C. à Athènes. La philologie critique affirme ainsi ses liens avec la philosophie, l’histoire et la sociologie. L’édition critique du texte et sa traduction feront l’objet d’un autre volume.

From beginning to end of the Iliad, Agamemnon and Achilleus are locked in a high-stakes struggle for dominance based on their efforts to impose competing definitions of loss incurred and the nature of compensation thereby owed. This typology of scenes involving apoina, or 'ransom' and poine, or 'revenge' is the basis of Donna Wilson's detailed anthropology of compensation in Homer, which she locates in the wider context of agonistic exchange. Wilson argues that a struggle over definitions is a central feature of elite competition for status in the zero-sum and fluid ranking system characteristic of Homeric society. This system can be used to explain why Achilleus refuses Agamemnon's 'compensation' in Book 9, as well as why and how the embassy tries to mask it. Ransom, Revenge, and Heroic Identity in the Iliad thus examines the traditional semantic, cultural and poetic matrix of which compensation is an integral part.
