Odysseia

François Hartog

" O muse, conte-moi l'aventure de l'Inventif : celui qui pilla Troie, qui pendant des années erra, voyant beaucoup de villes, découvrant beaucoup d'usages, souffrant beaucoup d'angoisses dans son âme sur la mer pour défendre sa vie et le retour de ses marins sans en pouvoir sauver un seul... " Faut-il présenter ce " très vieux poème " ? Il suffit probablement de reprendre cette dernière phrase de l'Avertissement de Philippe Jaccottet : " il y aura eu d'abord pour nous comme une fraîcheur d'eau au creux de la main. Après quoi on est libre de commenter à l'infini, si l'on veut. "

The Homeric Hymn to Demeter, composed in the late seventh or early sixth century B.C.E., is a key to understanding the psychological and religious world of ancient Greek women. The poem tells how Hades, lord of the underworld, abducted the goddess Persephone and how her grieving mother, Demeter, the goddess of grain, forced the gods to allow Persephone to return to her for part of each year. Helene Foley presents the Greek text and an annotated translation of this poem, together with selected essays that give the reader a rich understanding of the Hymn's structure and artistry, its role in the religious life of the ancient world, and its meaning for the modern world.

" Faut-il présenter ce " très vieux poème " '' La superbe traduction de Philippe Jaccottet fait revivre l'épopée d'Homère qui vient " à son lecteur ou, mieux peut-être, à son auditeur un peu comme viennent à la rencontre du voyageur ces statues ou ces colonnes lumineuses dans l'air cristallin de la Grèce... " Le traducteur, Philippe Jaccottet, est un des plus grands poètes français contemporains.

De Ilias

"The Hymns range widely in length: two are over 500 lines long; several run only a half dozen lines. Among the longest are the hymn To Demeter, which tells the foundational story of the Eleusinian Mysteries; and To Hermes, distinctive in being amusing. The comic poems gathered as Homeric Apocrypha include Margites, the Battle of Frogs and Mice, and, for the first time in English, a fragment of a perhaps earlier poem of the same type called Battle of the Weasel and the Mice. The edition of Lives of Homer contains The Contest of Homer and Hesiod and nine other biographical accounts, translated into English for the first time."--BOOK JACKET.

A rich source for students of Greek mythology and literature, the Homeric hymns are also fine poetry. Attributed by the ancients to Homer, these prooimia, or preludes, were actually composed over centuries and used by poets to prepare for the singing or recitation of longer portions of the Homeric epics. In his acclaimed translations of the hymns, Apostolos Athanassakis preserves the essential simplicity of the original Greek, offering a straightforward, line-by-line translation that makes no attempts to masquerade or modernize. For this long-awaited new edition, Athanassakis enhances his classic work with a comprehensive index, careful and selective changes in the translations themselves, and numerous additions to the notes which will enrich the reader's experience of these ancient and influential poems.
