The Homeric Hymns
Author: Andrew Faulkner
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191618381
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
This is the first collection of scholarly essays on the Homeric Hymns, a corpus of 33 hexameter poems celebrating gods that were probably recited at religious festivals, among other possible performance venues, and were frequently attributed in antiquity to Homer. After a general introduction to modern scholarship on the Homeric Hymns, the essays of the first part of the book examine in detail aspects of the longer narrative poems in the collection, while those of the second part give critical attention to the shorter poems and to the collection as a whole. The contributors to the volume present a wide range of stimulating views on the study of the Homeric Hymns, which have attracted much interest in recent years.

Language and Style of the Vedic Rsis
Author: Tat?i?a?na I?A?kovlevna Elizarenkova
Publisher: SUNY Press
ISBN: 9780791416679
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
Elizarenkova, perhaps the greatest living scholar of the Rgveda and certainly its greatest linguist, explains here the relationships between a very complicated grammatical system and the peculiarities of style of the archaic religious poetry. The laudatory hymn is treated as an act of verbal communication between the poet Rsi and the deity, with the hymn itself transmitting certain information from man to god. From this viewpoint, the hymn is used as a means to maintain a circular exchange of gifts between the Rsis and their gods.
