The reference to Pelops emerging from the cauldron in verses 25-27 of Pindar O. 1 is one of the most enigmatic passages in the ode. Scholars have regarded it as an allusion to the tale of a cannibalistic banquet or as a new story invented by Pindar himself, but both of these interpretations fail to satisfy. Many of the problems caused by this passage derive from the evidence used to reconstruct pre-Pindaric traditions. A second boiling to restore Pelops, preserved only in a scholium to O. 1, is an ad hoc interpretation of the annotator. Based on evidence provided by Apollodorus the mythographer, a different version of this episode may be inferred, whereby the cauldron evokes mythical representations, involving rejuvenation and immortality, which can fully account for the enigmatic passage of O. 1.

在Pindar O的25-27节​​中提到了从大锅中冒出来的Pelops 。1是颂歌中最神秘的段落之一。学者们认为这是对食人宴会的故事的暗示，或者是Pindar本人发明的新故事，但是这两种解释都不能令人满意。这段经文引起的许多问题都源于重建品纳之前的传统的证据。第二沸腾恢复贝洛布思，只在训诂学，以保存Ø。1，是专案注释者的解释。根据神话学家Apollodorus提供的证据，可以推断出此情节的不同版本，从而使大锅唤起了关于复兴和永生的神话表征，这可以完全解释O的神秘历程。1。
