Abstract
© Cambridge University Press 2012. The essays which make up this collection were presented at the four-day conference Epinician: An International Conference on the Victory Ode which took place on 5-9 July in the cold summer of 2006 in Bloomsbury, London. Organised under the joint auspices of University College London and the University of London's Institute of Classical Studies, it aimed to explore different strategies of reading a single genre of archaic and classical Greek poetry. The conference brought together experts in many different fields in a collective effort to visualise epinician poetry in its contexts of performance and reception. Scholars from the UK, Italy, Greece, France, the Netherlands, the United States and Canada, Argentina, Scandanavia and Eastern Europe met in the lecture hall of UCL's Institute of Archaeology. Delegates came from as far away as Germany and South Africa to hear the speakers, and there was a sizeable postgraduate contingent from UCL, Oxford, Cambridge and many other British and European universities. If they do little to convey the excitement of the occasion (performance being an emergent phenomenon), the editors feel that the selection of essays collected in this volume (slices from the banquet) represent a rewarding contribution to a rapidly developing area of study. In combining and editing these heterogeneous papers into a book, we have not aimed to unify the authors varied styles and voices. As always, transcription of Greek names was a problem, and we make no claim to consistency, but have generally opted for more familiar Latinate forms. The poets are usually cited from the most recent editions: Alcman from PMGF and Calame; Stesichorus from PMGF; Ibycus from SLG, PMGF or Campbell, Anacreon and Simonides from PMG (elegy from W2); Pindar from the latest editions of S-M (Epinicians) and M (Fragments). Theognis follows W; the Homeric Hymns Allen's OCT. Other poets and classical authors are cited from familiar recent editions. Translations are most often based on the Loeb Classical Library editions of W. H. Race and D. A. Campbell; but the authors have often altered the wording to fit the point at hand.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; the direct Gemma label and the distilled Codex classifier agree on what is shown here.
