Homeric Hymns, Epigrams, and The Battle of Frogs and Mice episodes

  • 001 - Section 1
    Dive into the enchanting world of the Homeric Hymns, a collection of thirty-three lyrical poems that pay tribute to various Greek gods. Most of these pieces are brief, spanning just a few lines, while a select few delve deeper with over 250 lines. Crafted in the iconic Homeric style and traditionally attributed to the legendary poet Homer, their true origins remain a mystery. Alongside the Hymns, explore the Epigrams, a series of intriguing fragments touching on a myriad of themes from sailors to potters, also linked to Homer but likely influenced by Hesiod and others. Finally, enjoy the whimsical Battle of Frogs and Mice, a playful parody that condenses the epic scale of the Iliad into a light-hearted tale—just one-fiftieth the length! - Summary by Arthur Krolman
