توضیحات
In this new translation of the Homeric Hymns, Sarah
Ruden employs a melodious and flexible non-rhyming line of eleven syllables,
offering a close approximation of Greek hexameter verse in natural English
rhythms. The result is a Homeric Hymns marked by its accuracy,
simplicity, and economy of movement.
Sheila Murnaghan's Introduction situates the Hymns within the
mythological and performative traditions that gave rise to them. Focusing on
the longer Hymns, she perceptively illuminates these oddly charming
and sometimes grave accounts of "defining episodes in the evolution of the
cosmos."
Notes and a Glossary of Names are included.
