"Pindarick" is misspelled. It's "Pindaric". I cannot find any other source which states that a Pindaric Ode must be iambic. It can be if that is the poet's choice of form but I cannot find a source that states it must be. --PLarson770 (talk) 00:17, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Greek Origins

That bit about the Lesbian lyricists - I know nothing about odes, but it looks suspiciously like vandalism to me, with a dig at Sappho. Hmoulding (talk) 20:47, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article Picture

I think it's a bit tangential, and not a particularly great photo. I'd rather no image at all than what's there at present. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.130.229.179 (talk) 01:01, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The triadic structure

The article states: “A classic ode is structured in three major parts...”. According to A Reader's Guide to Literary Terms (Beckson, Karl and Ganz, Arthur. Thames and Hudson, 1960), this structure characterizes the Pendaric ode; they do not mention other types of odes as found in the article. The article may require fixing. The same reference also states that this three-part structure is called a triad. AmirOnWiki (talk) 12:35, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
