- This book (532 pp.) contains an edition of the Homeric Hymn to Hermes based on extensive research on the manuscript tradition. The commentary unites diverse interpretative methodologies to address points of language, poetic technique, and cultural background, and is the result of over a decade’s research. The introduction puts forward a new argument about the nature of praise, which has implications for future study of Greek hymnography in general, while the commentary develops a new approach for applying several less common interpretative methods which are also applicable to other early Greek texts.
