An excellent translation which appears to give the feeling of the hymns as religious outpourings and works of art.

Beautiful early versions of ancient Greek myth written as they were once sung. Hard to believe these sophisticated tales were recited in their entirety from memory over two millennia ago. The Hymn to Demeter is a particularly moving version of the popular myth of Persephone.
