Download or read book Greek Poems to the Gods written by Barry B. Powell and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2021-04-30 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ancient Greek hymnic tradition translated beautifully and accessibly. The hymn—as poetry, as craft, as a tool for worship and philosophy—was a vital art form throughout antiquity. Although the Homeric Hymns have long been popular, other equally important collections have not been readily accessible to students eager to learn about ancient poetry. In reading hymns, we also gain valuable insight into life in the classical world. In this collection, early Homeric Hymns of uncertain authorship appear along with the carefully wrought hymns of the great Hellenistic poet and courtier Callimachus; the mystical writings attributed to the legendary poet Orpheus, written as Christianity was taking over the ancient world; and finally, the hymns of Proclus, the last great pagan philosopher of antiquity, from the fifth century AD, whose intellectual influence throughout western culture has been profound. Greek Poems to the Gods distills over a thousand years of the ancient Greek hymnic tradition into a single volume. Acclaimed translator Barry B. Powell brings these fabulous texts to life in English, hewing closely to the poetic beauty of the original Greek. His superb introductions and notes give readers essential context, making the hymns as accessible to a beginner approaching them for the first time as to an advanced student continuing to explore their secrets. Brilliant illustrations from ancient art enliven and enrichen the experience of reading these poems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems From the Greek Mythology: And Miscellaneous Poems From elm to elm, hanging in middle air Their amethystine fruitage - clustering globes Andavhen the day was done, I sang blithe hymns, Crowning myself a victor o'er his toils With roses crimson-soul'd and ivy dark And I was happy. But at length a change Crept over me. The joys that once had been Ample and deep, seem'd tame and in their place Grew up a mighty vagueness, which, like shade From passing clouds o'er sunlit lands, made blank Field after field of brilliance. Sadness fell Upon my soul, and it was desolate, - dark And rising sense of power, that might have stood On Jove's cerulean battlements alone.

Download or read book The Homeric Hymns written by Peter McDonald and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Homeric Hymns are a crucial work in the Western literary canon, and Peter McDonald’s new verse translations offer the major modern account of this still under-appreciated body of ancient poetry. The thirty-three ‘hymns’ are poetic accounts of ancient Greek gods, including Apollo, Dionysus, Aphrodite, Zeus, and Poseidon. Some of the poems are micro-epics in their own right, recounting the lives and affairs of the divine; taken together, they form a meditation on the primal themes of love, war, betrayal, desire, and paternity, and contemplate the dangerous proximity of gods and men. The book includes a new translation of the ‘Life of Homer’, a narrative incorporating the shorter poems known as Homer’s Epigrams, attributed to Pseudo-Herodotus. Two appendices provide verse translations of episodes from Homer’s Odyssey and Hesiod’s Theogony, while McDonald gives fresh versions throughout of relevant passages from Pindar, Aeschylus, Sophocles, and other Greek poets. The accompanying notes and commentaries on the poems are the most generous and authoritative of any translation. This book revives an ancient classic for the twenty-first century.
