Note 59 — Chapter XII · THE LAY AUTHORS
W. B. (William Bernard) Hillis translation
The similarity with the stages of the reward given to the good in Pindar is obvious: χῶρος εὐσεβῶν in Hades; then and not till then escape from the underworld and from human life as well. The only difference is that in Pi. the soul’s final end is to become a ἥρως while here it becomes θεός.
