Sing, O Muse, of the word that endures beyond bronze and flame.

Here in The Homer Library, the ancient song rises anew, of swift-footed heroes and wine-dark seas, of towering walls and the wrath that shatters kings.

Hear the clash of spear on shield, the lament of queens, the cunning of wanderers longing for hearth and homeland. As once the blind bard lifted his lyre among listening halls, so now the tale is carried upon living breath - faithful, unbroken, and whole.

Each episode unfolds the sacred verses in their fullness, that glory may not fade and memory may not perish.

Come, then. Sit among warriors and wanderers.
And let the story be sung again.Public domain

    In which Dionysus, appearing as a youthful god with dark hair and a purple robe, is seized by pirates who are confounded by his divine power and transformed into dolphins when he reveals his true nature, sparing only their helmsman. The muse then proceeds to sing brief and reverent hymns to a splendid assembly of Olympian deities and heroic figures, celebrating their attributes and honours in gentle praise.

    In which the Muse recounts the irresistible sway of golden Aphrodite, whose charms conquer gods and mortals alike, save for the steadfast hearts of Athene, Artemis, and Hestia, and how Zeus, in a divine edict, compels her to surrender to mortal love for Anchises, kindling a fateful passion set upon the hills of Ida. Thereupon, with a delicate mingling of mortal yearning and immortal counsel, Aphrodite reveals to Anchises the delicate burdens and blessings his union entails, foretelling a future rich with divine favour and mortal consequence beneath the watchful gaze of the gods.

    In which the cunning Hermes, newly born beneath the shadows of Cyllene, weaves enchantment from a humble tortoise shell to create a lyre and embarks upon a bold theft of Apollo’s cattle, leading to a celestial quarrel that calls forth the judgement of mighty Zeus. Thereupon, the two divine brothers reconcile through song and gifts, forging bonds of friendship and conferring upon Hermes his charge over herds, omens, and the subtle arts of guile.
