The Author, the Manuscripts The entire work is online in English translation. I don't plan to enter the original Greek text: those, now few, who read Greek will very likely have access to TLG.

As almost always, I retyped the text rather than scanning it: not only to minimize errors prior to proofreading, but as an opportunity for me to become intimately familiar with the work, an exercise which I heartily recommend. (Well-meaning attempts to get me to scan text, if successful, would merely turn me into some kind of machine: gambit declined.) I ran a first check immediately after entering each book; then I proofread the text word by word, a check which is meant to be final. Α. Loebolus. THE HOMERIC HYMNS 1 - 3.
