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