Hey guys, I need help with a school project.

Greek Learning Greek
1

Do you guys know where I can find any Greek poems about the goddess Artemis? I looked on google but I didn’t have much luck. All I got was English. It doesn’t have to be a whole poem about her. If there’s a descent sized passage about her in another poem that’ll work. preferably something descriptive rather than a story about her. If you guys could help me out I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

There are Homeric Hymns on Artemis, for on thing:

(Don’t just click on the links above. Instead, copy and paste them each on the address bar of your browser.)

Or you could use Perseus Digital Library:

There seem to be 2 Homeríc hymns at the bottom of this page too:

(Sorry, Mingshey. I suddenly realise they’re the same as in your links… :blush: )

.

No harm’s done. :slight_smile: Rather, I’m just gratefult that you added another nice site for reference.

You can click over to English translation or refer to the word-to-word morphological analysis at Perseus site.

Cheers!
