Description
The Homeric Hymns by Jules Cashford These 33 ancient Greek songs were composed for recitation at festivals and honour the gods and goddesses of the pantheon. They recount key episodes in the lives of the gods, dramatizing moments when they first appear before mortals. Together, these hymns offer a vivid picture of the relationship between the divine and human worlds in ancient Greece. Written over seventy years ago, this collection remains an important source for understanding the culture and mythology of the time. Penguin Classics has published this edition, which features introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
