Book Description:
Οἱ Ὁμηρικοὶ Ὕμνοι ἐντάσσονται στὰ πλαίσια τῶν ἐργασιῶν πού ξεκίνησα ἐδῶ καὶ μερικὰ χρόνια στὴν ἰστοσελίδα μου Projet Homere ) - http://www.projethomere.com
Ὅπως ἦταν φυσικό, ξεκίνησα τὴν προσπάθεια μου μὲ τὴν ἠχογράφηση τῆς Ὁμηρικῆς ποιήσεως διότι πιστεύω ὅτι βρίσκεται στὴν κορυφὴ τῆς ἑλληνικῆς καὶ τῆς δυτικῆς λογοτεχνίας ἀφοῦ πρόκειται γιὰ τὰ πρῶτα λογοτεχνικὰ ἔργα - Ἐπίσης θεωρῶ ὅτι αὐτὰ τὰ σπουδαῖα ἀρχαῖα ἑλληνικὰ λογοτεχνικὰ ἔργα πρέπει νὰ ἠχογραφηθοῦν ἀπὸ ἑλληνικὲς φωνὲς .
The Homeric Hymns are part of the work that I started a few years ago on my website, Projet Homere ) - http://www.projethomere.com
As I naturally started my effort with the recording of Homeric poetry because I believe it is at the top of Greek and Western literature Since they are the first literary works. Ι also believe that these great ancient Greek literary works must be recorded by Greek voices.
Les Hymnes Homériques font partis des travaux que j'ai commencés il y a quelques années sur mon site Projet Homère : http://www.projethomere.com
Comme il était naturel , j'ai débuté les enregistrements avec la poésie homérique qui est au somment de la littérature grecque et occidentale puisqu'il s'agit des premières œuvres littéraires. Je suis persuadée qu'il est important que les anciennes œuvres littéraires grecques soient enregistrées par des voix grecques.
