| | Homeric Hymns - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The thirty-three hymns praise most of the major gods of Greek mythology; at least the shorter ones may have served as preludes to the recitation of epic verse at festivals by professional rhapsodes. | | | These hymns celebrating individual gods are in dactylic hexameter, the meter used in the Homeric epics. | | | The anonymous Homeric Hymns are a collection of ancient Greek hymns. |

| | The Homeric Hymns: INTRODUCTION |
| | Most of the Homeric Hymns end with a prayer to the god of that hymn. | | | They are "hymns" in that each poem celebrates the attributes or epiphany of the god or goddess to whom the hymn is addressed. | | | In religious terms, to "hymn" the god is to sing a song of praise, to celebrate the god through song. |

| | Homeric Hymns |
| | The long hymns tell of a daughter stolen and her mother’s grief, of one god& search for a place to found his temple, of the struggle a new-born god makes to win recognition through his skill at trickery, and of love for a mortal man imposed on a goddess to teach her a lesson. | | | Each hymn is preceded by its own introductory note on the date and place of the hymn’s composition (usually unknown, alas) and on other main points of interest. | | | The Homeric Hymns are a rich source of information for Greek myth, religion, language and culture. |

| | In the first section, West provides texts and translations of the thirty-three canonical Homeric Hymns and includes one further fragment from Aelius Dionysus that he considers to be an isolated line from the closing section of a hymn not included in the regular corpus. | | | As an example, in reference to the Hymn to Apollo, West states "as has been almost universally accepted since Ruhnkenius (1782), it is a pantomime horse, a combination of two originally separate poems" (9). | | | Perhaps the two editorial decisions most likely to provoke discussion are 1) West's omission of a thirty-fourth poem (Eis Xenous) commonly printed in collections of the Homeric Hymns and 2) his arrangement of the longer Hymn to Dionysus. |

| | In contrast, the Homeric Hymns are more distant in that they depict aristocratic life in a polished tone that reveals nothing of the narrators' personalities. | | | These hymns (so named because they address the deities in short invocations at the beginning and end of each) are some of the earliest examples of epyllia, or short stories in the epic manner in Greek. | | | In Works of Hesiod and the Homeric Hymns, highly acclaimed poet and translator Daryl Hine brings to life the words of Hesiod and the world of Archaic Greece. |

| | The poems are described as Homer's in the manuscript tradition, in which they are offered together with hymns by historical poets, but also some attributed to the mythical Orpheus. | | | The "Hymn" should settle the matter, and Athanassakis, like most translators, offers a version in which it *is* winter -- but explicitly notes (as Cashford/Richardson, for example, do not) that the whole section is in such poor condition in the only extant manuscript that this is merely a plausible reconstruction. | | | An example of the care Athanassakis takes with such issues is his explanation of a much-debated passage in the "Hymn to Demeter." It is usually understood to explain winter as the portion of the year Persephone must remain in the Underworld. |

| | The long hymns at the opening of the collection are of considerable importance to our knowledge of Greek myth and religion, but the following shorter hymns have a value of their own. | | | They are assigned to Homer in a manuscript tradition which includes the supposed works of the mythical poet Orpheus, which for starters does not inspire confidence in the attribution, along with literary hymns by the historical figures Callimachus and Proclus. | | | The description as "hymns" is in some cases problematic (although it has attracted listings of Christian hymnals to some of the Amazon sites for other translations!). |

Ida. | | | In clear, lively prose, she explains the hymns' literary tradition, myth sources, and forms. |

| | The traditional solution is the "transcription hypothesis", wherein a non-literate "Homer" dictates his poem to a literate scribe in the 6th century BC or earlier. | | | It has repeatedly been questioned whether the same poet was responsible for both the Iliad and the Odyssey; the Batrachomyomachia, Homeric hymns and cyclic poems are generally agreed to be later than these two epic poems. | | | Other scholars, however, maintain their belief in the reality of an actual Homer. |
