A review by lanternheart
Greek Poems to the Gods: Hymns from Homer to Proclus by Barry B. Powell

challenging informative inspiring reflective slow-paced

5.0

While you can go through this book at any pace you like, it's a very well-translated, poetic, and accessible collection of Greek poetry to any reader. I found myself puzzling and writing notes on the intricacies between different poems and periods of poetry that Powell has collected, and lingering with the rolling, cascading epithets and stories of my childhood all told again. A beautiful work, and one I hope to own a copy of eventually — this is from the library.
