Free Reading Discussion: Hymn to Hermes

The Homeric Hymns have survived for two and a half millennia because of their captivating stories, beautiful language, and religious significance. Well before the advent of writing in Greece, they were performed by traveling bards at religious events, competitions, banquets, and festivals. These poems invoking and celebrating the gods of ancient Greece raise questions that humanity still struggles with―questions about our place among others and in the world.
