This detailed literary and rhetorical analysis of the Homeric Hymn
to Apollo treats the poem as a unified work of art in which
sophisticated poetic craftsmanship is put to the service of serious
ethical thought. By means of parallels from Homer, Hesiod, and
other Homeric hymns, as well as from later epideictic poetry and
prose, the author seeks to show that the poet of the Hymn follows a
coherent ''program'' whose intention is to praise Apollo from his
birth on humble Delos to his establishment in a position of glory
at Delphi. At the same time, the ''Delian'' and ''Pythian''
portions of the hymn are linked by a complex network of ideas
bearing on the ethos of Apollo and the nature of his Delphic
oracle. The study takes into account previous scholarship on the
Hymn and provides appendices on ''The Question of Unity'' and ''The
Cosmological Hierarchy and Apollo's Timai''.
