I am reading the Homeric Hymns in
Ancient Greek with help from Loeb
Homeric
Hymn to Dionysus
· The
suggestion that Dionysus was born in the deep-whirling Alpheus, recalls the
fated-birth of Apollo and Artemis in the Peleus River in the Valle of Tempe.
· Line
seven in the Greek; “Father of men and gods”. In English “Father of gods and men”
· Dionysus
birth in hiding from Hera recalls Zeus’ from Cronus. The Curetes and Orphic Titans playing
different roles from one another.
Homeric
Hymn to Demeter
· “Qeon” = goddess?
· M.L.
West often translates “Cronide”
as Zeus.
· Why
the phrase “immortal gods and mortal men”?
Like we all don’t know that men die? M.L. West drops “men” sometimes
when both mortal and men are in the Greek.
More notes to come.
So men was created higher than gods??Who are the Greeks and true relations with Romans?
ReplyDeleteQeon is a typo for Theon, the gods.
