Klappentext zu „The "Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite" and Related Texts “
The Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite (600s BCE?) tells the story of a brief encounter between the goddess of love and the cowherd Anchises, which led to the birth of the Trojan hero Aeneas. Less than 300 lines long, it is among the shortest of the so-called 'major Homeric Hymns'. However, it is also richly andbeautifully conceived and narrated, and of enormous importance for the Greek mythology and the history of Greek religion. Olson offers a complete new text of the poem and of ten related 'minor Hymns', based on a fresh examination of the manuscripts; a full critical apparatus; and a translation. The work is completed bya substantial introduction, which treats inter alia the stories of Aeneas, the problem of dating early Greek epic, and the nature of the connections between the Hymn to Aphrodite and the Homeric and Hesiodic poems. Olson furthermore offers a substantial, narratologically-oriented commentary.

"In summary, this work will prove useful for students of early Greek epic, not least in actually presenting the minor Hymns with commentary."Adrian Kelly in: BMCR 2013.09.23
"The general balance is that this work is useful because it provides a fresh look at an important text which has only recently begun to receive the attention it deserves."
