The terms "strophe"  "antistrophe"  and "epode"  used in Svarlien's translations of Pindar  are fairly technical (In fact  you do not really need to understand them for this course) Some of you  however  have expressed an interest in the terms  and it may therefore be legitimate to present a brief discussion of them � especially since some use of a pattern of strophes and corresponding antistrophes was made in the choral sections of all Greek plays
