Homeric Hymns by Homer
4.0
Nice little collection of the hymns. Unfortunately the translation is pretty stale, but it'll do in a pinch. It also kind of desperately needs a slightly longer foreward and afterward to explain things, but it does at least talk a little bit about the hymns. I'm not gonna give my boy Homer a bad rating, but you should prolly go for a different edition.
Was fun to reread these, as I'm very familiar with all the stories. I also appreciated the aspect of addressing the gods this time around. And in general it was nice to review the hallmarks of Homeric poetry as found in the hymns.
