i usually don't rate classical source material (because how many stars do you even give something that was composed 2.5 thousand years ago?), but the homeric hymns are a source of a story that i giggled immensely at: i.e. hermes, still a newborn in his swaddling clothes, stealing apollo's cattle, lying about it, and then being found out and having to appear in front of the entirety of olympos only to be told to wear a get-along shirt with apollo (and then bestow mutual gifts on each other and become best buds but Come On this is hilarious)

You might wonder why I took four months to read this tiny book but I decided to read it as an offering to the Hellenic Gods and every hymn was read aloud, so it took a while haha But I loved this. I love these hymns and this edition is very beautiful because not only does it have the full hymns but also has a section at the end with explanatory notes and a glossary of names, which is great for those not familiar with the greek deities, heroes and beings.
