Attributed by the ancients to Homer, these prooimia, or preludes, were actually composed over centuries and used by poets to prepare for the singing or recitation of longer portions of the Homeric epics. In his acclaimed translations of the hymns, Apostolos Athanassakis preserves the essential simplicity of the original Greek, offering a straightforward, line-by-line translation that makes no attempts to masquerade or modernize. For this long-awaited new edition, Athanassakis enhances his classic work with a comprehensive index, careful and selective changes in the translations themselves, and numerous additions to the notes which will enrich the reader's experience of these ancient and influential poems. 915899 1 9 1976 The Homeric Hymns total:33|5:8|4:9|3:12|2:4|1:0| 33 120 48 3 5 0 false false Tue Jul 22 23:44:55 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 22 23:45:55 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Nov 15 11:04:47 -0800 2008 Mon Oct 27 21:02:25 -0700 2008 Sat Nov 15 11:04:47 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Sat Mar 01 20:19:15 -0800 2008 Sat Mar 01 20:19:38 -0800 2008 2 0 false false Sat Oct 24 12:07:29 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 24 12:07:29 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Oct 09 20:00:47 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 09 20:00:47 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 07 19:49:03 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 07 19:49:06 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1986 Fri Sep 11 01:12:47 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 11 01:12:56 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Mon Aug 31 18:18:34 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 18:18:34 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Jul 11 06:17:56 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 11 06:17:56 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jun 22 11:15:01 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 22 11:15:06 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon May 18 12:21:23 -0700 2009 Mon May 18 12:21:23 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Mar 22 21:21:07 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 22 21:21:07 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Mar 20 22:43:14 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 20 22:43:28 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Mar 18 08:25:13 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 18 08:25:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Feb 21 15:40:51 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 21 15:40:51 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Thu Jan 29 17:32:31 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 29 17:32:31 -0800 2009 2 0 false false Sun Dec 28 22:38:40 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 28 22:38:40 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Thu Dec 25 19:45:26 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 25 19:45:26 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Sun Dec 21 18:49:09 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 21 18:49:09 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Tue Dec 02 13:37:24 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 02 13:37:28 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=930908
