Homeric Hymns
Translated by Jules Cashford
Introduction and Notes by
Nicholas Richardson
Written by unknown poets in the sixth
and seventh centuries b.c., the hymns
were recited at festivals to honor the
Olympian gods and goddesses, and to pray
for divine favor or for victory in singing
contests. They stand now as works of great
poetic force, full of grace and lyricism, and
ranging in tone from irony to solemnity,
ebullience to grandeur.

Jalaluddin Rumi (d. 1273) and Jami (d.
1492). Starting with the writings of eighthcentury
mystics, this soaring anthology of
verse across the Islamic world culminates
in the early twentieth century.
