Pherenikos is celebrated in epinikions, what are they?
Epinikion The epinikion or epinicion (plural "epinikia" or "epinicia", Greek ἐπινίκιον , from "epi-", "on," + "nikê", "victory") is a genre of occasional poetry also known in English as a victory ode. In ancient Greece, the "epinikion" most often took the form of a choral lyric, commissioned for and performed at the celebration of an athletic victory in the Panhellenic Games and sometimes in honor of a victory in war. Major poets in the genre are Simonides, Bacchylides, and Pindar.
Phaistos Phaistos (Greek: Φαιστός , ] ; Ancient Greek: Φαιστός , ] ), also transliterated as Phaestos, Festos and Latin Phaestus, currently refers to a Bronze Age archaeological site at modern Phaistos, a municipality in south central Crete. Ancient Phaistos was located about 5.6 km east of the Mediterranean Sea and 62 km south of Heraklio, the second largest city of Minoan Crete. The name, Phaistos, survives from ancient Greek references to a city in Crete of that name, shown to be, in fact, at or near the current ruins.
