Homeric Hymns
«This translation is very welcome, as until now there has been no widely available modern translation in English ... the translation should prove a great help to those wishing to teach the hymns to students with little or no Greek. Since they are of manageable length, and contain much that is of great interest for Greek religion and poetry, these hymns are eminently worthy of study; and Crudden's efforts should help introduce them to a wider readership.»
Hermathena: A Trinity College Dublin Review
The Homeric Hymns honour the Greek gods. They are called 'Homeric' because the ancients attributed them to Homer; it is accepted that they were composed by later poets working in the same tradition. This volume offers a faithful verse translation of all the hymns, Explanatory Notes, and a Glossary of Names. Les mer

Hermathena: A Trinity College Dublin Review
«The translation itself is highly readable ... It is the triumph of the English language and of Crudden's ingenious usage of it that he has succeeded in squeezing such a different version out of almost every line.»
