Pindar’s Olympian 13.106 and the χρέος-Motif

What is it about?

This note argues that, at Olympian 13.106, Pindar/the performer references his obligation to fulfill expectations of reciprocity. Pindar/the performer says that he will fulfill his obligation to discharge his debt because he is thinking and working within the framework of the χρέος-motif. This note uses comparanda, Pindaric and other, as well as the flow of the narrative in order to support the argument.
