About Homeric Hymns
A new edition of the classic work of Ancient Greek epic poetry, the Homeric Hymns. The Homeric Hymns are a collection of thirty-three anonymous ancient Greek hymns celebrating individual gods. The hymns are labelled "Homeric" not because Homer was the author (the authorship is uncertain) but because they employ the same epic meter—dactylic hexameter—as the Iliad and Odyssey, use many similar stylistic elements. The Homeric Hymns are among the oldest extant works of Greek literature, most of them composed in the seventh and sixth centuries B.C., and remain some of the best primary sources for understanding the religion of the Ancient Greeks. Hugh G. Evelyn-White (1884-1924) was an English-born classicist and archaeologist, best known for his translations of Hesiod and the Homeric hymns.
