The Text of the Homeric Hymns

Abstract

This Hymn, whether from the simplicity of its narrative or from accident, presents fewer textual difficulties than any of the four larger compositions. Serious corruptions there are none, and the notes it is necessary to write are occasioned rather by the misplaced activity of critics than by real obscurities in the tradition. Literature since 1886 is confined to the contributions of A.' Ludwich, Rheinisches Museum 1888, p. 566, and R. Peppmüller, Philologus 1889 p. 13 sqq. Accounts of the Goddess (which however do not bear materially on the Hymn) are given by Roscher in the first volume of his Lexicon, Tümpel in the new Pauly-Wissowa, vol. 1, and by Mr. Farnell, Cults of Greek States, vol. 2.
