These lively narrative poems, attributed in antiquity to Homer, are works of great
charm. Composed for recitation at festivals in honour of the gods, they tell of Apollo's
birth on the island of Delos and his foundation of the Delphic oracle; Hermes' invention
of the lyre and theft of his brother Apollo's cattle; and Aphrodite's love affair
with the mortal Anchises. This edition offers a new text of these oems. The Introduction
discusses among other things the nature and purpose of the poems in general, their
origins, their structure and themes. The Commentary brings out the individual character
of each Hymn, by analyzing in depth its language and literary qualities, and also
its religious and historical aspects. The aim is to make these Hymns more accessible
to students of Greek literature, and help them to appreciate the poems more fully
as major works of early Greek poetry
