Dive into the rich legacy of ancient Greek literature with Collection of Hesiod, Homer and Homerica. This remarkable compilation includes the thirty-three anonymous Homeric Hymns, which celebrate individual gods with the same epic grandeur as the Iliad and Odyssey.


Attributed to Homer since antiquity and documented as such by Thucydides, these hymns span from the seventh century BCE, positioning them among the earliest treasures of Greek literary heritage. While most were crafted in the seventh and sixth centuries, some pieces may extend into the Hellenistic period, adding layers to their historical significance.


This collection not only underscores the thematic depth of divine reverence and mythological narratives but also offers invaluable insights into the cultural and religious fabric of ancient Greece. Experience the enduring power and profound beauty of these ancient hymns that continue to captivate readers and scholars alike.
