Opis

The Homeric Hymns honor the Greek gods. Once attributed to Homer, it is now accepted that the hymns were composed by later poets working in the same tradition, probably during the seventh and sixth centuries BC. This volume offers a new faithful verse translation of all the hymns, Explanatory Notes, and a Glossary of Names.

Recenzje

The translation itself is highly readable ... It is the triumph of the English language and of Crudden's ingenious usage of it that he has succeeded in squeezing such a different version out of almost every line.
