Answer:

  • They were first written to celebrate athletic victories.
  • They were used to spread social awareness among the masses.

Explanation:

The ode concept is part of a terminology proper to literature, more specifically as one of its most poetic genres: the lyrical genre. The ode is a composition in verse whose main characteristic is the tone of praise dedicated to exalting a character or an idea. It is a genre in which the poet's subjectivity expresses a sense of admiration and devotion. It can be said that ode acts as a homage in the form of verse.

In its classic version the ode presented regular stanzas and with varied rhymes. The chosen theme is related to some historical event (the victory of an athlete in the Olympic Games or the exploits of some illustrious warrior), but it is also associated with the exaltation of love, a virtue or a feeling of fullness.
