Ceans had participated in the defeat of the Persians at the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Salamis" title="Battle of Salamis">Battle of Salamis</a> and they could take pride in the fact that an elegy composed by Bacchylides's uncle was chosen by Athens to commemorate the Athenians who fell at the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Marathon" title="Battle of Marathon">Battle of Marathon</a>. Being only thirteen miles from the Athenian cape <a href="/wiki/Sunium" class="mw-redirect" title="Sunium">Sunium</a>, Keos was in fact necessarily responsive to Athenian influences. </p><p>Bacchylides's career as a poet probably benefited from the high reputation of his uncle, Simonides, whose patrons, when Bacchylides was born, already included <a href="/wiki/Hipparchus_(brother_of_Hippias)" title="Hipparchus (brother of Hippias)">Hipparchus</a>, brother of <a href="/wiki/Hippias_(tyrant)" title="Hippias (tyrant)">Hippias</a> the tyrant of Athens (527–10 BC) and cultural coordinator of the city at that time.

Soon he was competing with Pindar for commissions from the leading families of <a href="/wiki/Aegina" title="Aegina">Aegina</a> and, in 476 BC, their rivalry seems to have reached the highest levels when Bacchylides composed an ode celebrating Hieron's first victory at the Olympian Games (Ode 5). Pindar celebrated the same victory but used the occasion to advise the tyrant of the need for moderation in one's personal conduct (Pindar's Olympian Ode 1), whereas Bacchylides probably offered his own ode as a free sample of his skill in the hope of attracting future commissions.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTESchmidt198720–23_28-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESchmidt198720–23-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Bacchylides was commissioned by Hieron in 470 BC, this time to celebrate his triumph in the chariot race at the <a href="/wiki/Pythian_Games" title="Pythian Games">Pythian Games</a> (Ode 4). Pindar also composed a celebratory ode for this victory (Pindar's Pythian Ode 1), including however stern, moral advice for the tyrant to rule wisely. Pindar was not commissioned to celebrate Hieron's subsequent victory in the chariot race at the Olympic Games in 468 BC – this, the most prestigious of Hieron's victories, was however celebrated by Bacchylides (Ode 3). The tyrant's apparent preference for Bacchylides over Pindar on this occasion might have been partly due to the Cean poet's simpler language and not just to his less moralizing posture,<sup id="cite_ref-c415_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-c415-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and yet it is also possible that Bacchylides and his uncle were simply better suited to palace politics than was their more high-minded rival.<sup id="cite_ref-29" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="/wiki/Alexandria" title="Alexandria">Alexandrian</a> scholars in fact interpreted a number of passages in Pindar as hostile allusions to Bacchylides and Simonides and this interpretation has been endorsed by modern scholars also.<sup id="cite_ref-Campbell_1982,_p._414_22-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Campbell_1982,_p._414-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>As a composer of choral lyrics, Bacchylides was probably responsible also for the performance, involving him in frequent travel to venues where musicians and choirs awaited instruction.
