The Homeric Hymns is a collection of ancient Greek hymns attributed to the poet Homer. These hymns were composed in the 7th and 6th centuries BC and were originally intended to be sung in praise of the gods and goddesses of the Greek pantheon. The hymns are written in dactylic hexameter, the same meter used in Homer's epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey.The Homeric Hymns consists of 33 hymns, each dedicated to a different deity. The first hymn is dedicated to Apollo, while the last is dedicated to Hestia. Other gods and goddesses featured in the hymns include Zeus, Demeter, Aphrodite, Hermes, and Athena.The hymns provide insight into the religious beliefs and practices of ancient Greece, as well as the mythology surrounding the gods and goddesses. They also offer a glimpse into the cultural and social context of the time in which they were written.This edition of The Homeric Hymns was translated into English by Hugh G. Evelyn-White and was first published in 1891. It remains a popular and important work in the study of ancient Greek literature and mythology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
