Description
The Homeric Hymns by Homer A collection of thirty-three ancient Greek hymns celebrating individual gods, these poems employ the same epic meter and dialect as the Iliad and Odyssey. Attributed to Homer in antiquity, they have been passed down through the centuries with this label still attached. Written primarily in the seventh century BC, the oldest hymns are among the oldest monuments of Greek literature, although some may be Hellenistic or even later additions. ISBN13: 9781724838988
