Summary
"This is a new edition of the Homeric odes, celebrating the Greek god and goddesses of mythology, which were recited at public festivals in ancient Greece. This English translation of the Homeric hymns outsells the competing translations of the same poems. The translator stays true to the simplicity of language in the original Greek. The third edition features a new introduction that incorporates recent archaeological discoveries and research into syncretism in ancient Greek religion"-- Provided by publisher.
