A really wonderful read and I do love me my Loeb editions so I can learn more/remember tiny bits of my classical Greek. Great introductions to the three sections, useful footnotes and a valuable index. I’m sure to turn to this volume in the future for reference.

The Hymns were my favorite, explaining the origin/mythologies of various gods. I especially loved the rascal Hermes and the piece on Aprodite. The Apocrypha were enjoyable, if short and not fully extant. I’ve read the Battle of Frogs and Mice before and it’s still so good and a fun read. The Lives of Homer was the least fun to read but useful for all the thoughts people in antiquity had about who they thought Homer was.
