<p>In this new translation of the <i>Homeric Hymns</i>, 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.</p><p>Sheila Murnaghan's Introduction situates the <i>Hymns</i> within the mythological and performative traditions that gave rise to them. Focusing on the longer <i>Hymns</i>, she perceptively illuminates these oddly charming and sometimes grave accounts of defining episodes in the evolution of the cosmos.</p><p>Notes and a Glossary of Names are included.</p>
