From the Publisher:
The Homeric Hymns are among the most important primary texts we have for understanding the Greek myths.
From the Back Cover:
"This new translation is a very extraordinary achievement. Thanks to Charles Boer's scrupulous and loving respect for Greek religious experience, and his own superb verse, we can see again a landscape that was always there, but which has unaccountably and inexcusably vanished from view....True, there were translations in plenty; but there was nothing like this remarkable work in which Greek gods appear not as abstract presences but as moving and radiant irruptions of the sacred....We are all very much in Boer's debt, and we should al welcome the appearance of a new translator who possesses both the power of language and respect for that past that can restore us the secrets of our own lost or threatened humanity."
William Arrowsmith
