Summary/Abstract: The issue of human mortality is one of the basic themes in Pindar’s poetry. In his epinikia, he delves into the issue of the divine being, the wish of people and mythical heroes to attain eternity, and the issue of vfipn;, which mortals prone to excess often commit out of ignorance, striving for the unchangeability of immortals. However, for the contemporary reader, one of the most mysterious characters in Pindar’s Odes is Ajax.
