Críticas

"The 'Homeric' Hymns are a rich source for students of Greek religion, mythology, and thought; they are also fine poetry. Because this translation is stately, graceful, and close to the original, it will serve its readers' purposes well." -- Library Journal



"Professor Athanassakis' new translation of the Hymns is very welcome. It is clearly intended for the use of students in courses in Greek mythology and religion, and includes a short but useful general introduction and separate notes to each Hymn... Athanassakis' translation is acceptable, and his commentary is very useful for its sound traditional scholarship and acquaintance with modern Greek folklore which he alone can contribute." -- Mark W. Edwards, Queen's Quarterly



"It is a book obviously produced by a classical scholar and meant for an informed audience... The translations present clear, smooth, and occasionally stately narrative. The translator displays a knack for selecting colorful and appropriate English words to match the Greek." -- The Classical Outlook

Críticas

"There exists no modern, readable translation done with scholarly notes to help the reader see all the historical, religious, cultic, and cultural significance of the hymns for ancient Greece. The author succeeds admirably in reaching this goal." -- Joseph Russo, Haverford College
