This volume contains practically all that remains of the
post-Homeric and pre academic epic poetry. I have for the most part
formed my own text. In the case of Hesiod I have been able to use
independent collations of several MSS. by Dr. W.H.D. Rouse;
otherwise I have depended on the apparatus criticus of the several
editions, especially that of Rzach (1902). The arrangement adopted
in this edition, by which the complete and fragmentary poems are
restored to the order in which they would probably have appeared
had the Hesiodic corpus survived intact, is unusual, but should not
need apology; the true place for the Catalogues (for example),
fragmentary as they are, is certainly after the Theogony. In
preparing the text of the Homeric Hymns my chief debt, and it is a
heavy one, is to the edition of Allen and Sikes (1904) and to the
series of articles in the Journal of Hellenic Studies (vols.
xv.sqq.) by T.W. Allen. To the same scholar and to the Delegates of
the Clarendon Press I am greatly indebted for permission to use the
restorations of the Hymn to Demeter, lines 387-401 and 462-470,
printed in the Oxford Text of 1912. Of the fragments of the Epic
Cycle I have given only such as seemed to possess distinct
importance or interest, and in doing so have relied mostly upon
Kinkel's collection and on the fifth volume of the Oxford Homer
(1912). The texts of the Batrachomyomachia and of the Contest of
Homer and Hesiod are those of Baumeister and Flach respectively:
where I have diverged from these, the fact has been noted.
