A person who composes or performs victory songs, particularly in ancient Greek contexts; a composer of epinicia.
From Greek epinicion 'victory song' + -ian (suffix denoting a person). This term describes the poets and musicians who specialized in celebrating victories.
Pindar was ancient Greece's most famous epinician—he was basically paid to write victory poems, and athletes would hire him to immortalize their wins in elaborate odes! He was the ultimate sports poet-for-hire.
