To a religious person, one of life’s greatest joys is reading a holy text in its original language, feeling connected not only to the divine but to every effort that one poured into learning the language, every effort in preserving and explicating the text, and even to every effort the poet exerted in creating it. Yet of course, to achieve such proficiency in the language takes time: this book offers a middle ground. Here is the first dual-language Hellenist hymnal, in both English and Greek, containing the Homeric Hymns, the Orphic Hymns, and more, from Sappho to Nonnus. One can read just the Greek, just the English, or try the Greek and check the facing translation when necessary. This book is an answer to the author’s prayer to simultaneously work on his languages while also focusing on his spirituality, yet how you use it is up to you: Keep it by your altar, take it to the park. Use it to work on your language skills, or use it solely for ritual. May the gods smile upon your efforts, whatever they may be, and may you experience the double joy of honouring the divine and doing so in a language that stretches back through millennia.
