Description

Explore the psychological and religious world of ancient Greek women through this essential scholarly work. The Homeric Hymn to Demeter, composed in the late seventh or early sixth century B.C.E., tells the profound story of Hades abducting Persephone and the subsequent grief of her mother, Demeter, the goddess of grain. This text explains how Demeter's actions forced the gods to allow Persephone to return to her for part of each year. Helene Foley provides a comprehensive resource for students and readers of Greek mythology. This volume includes the original Greek text paired with an annotated translation to ensure clarity and depth. Beyond the poem itself, the book features selected essays that help readers understand the structure, artistry, and historical role of the Hymn.
