Which form of poetry originally from Greece was written to celebrate or praise a person or subject?

Hard! Who's Greek?

Such as "Ode to Billy Joe"

Ewa, ya, me too. This is over my head... Lol

I only guessed that because "Ode to a Grecian Urn" popped into my head having never heard anything other than the title.

The only ode I know is to Billy Joel. Hahahahha

wow! Once again, I have learned something new.
