This translation is very welcome, as until now there has been no widely available modern translation in English ... the translation should prove a great help to those wishing to teach the hymns to students with little or no Greek. Since they are of manageable length, and contain much that is of great interest for Greek religion and poetry, these hymns are eminently worthy of study; and Crudden's efforts should help introduce them to a wider readership.
