The major hymns are primary sources for: Demeter (HH 2; Eleusinian Mysteries foundation myth), Apollo (HH 3; Delos and Delphi foundations), Hermes (HH 4; theft of Apollo's cattle, invention of the lyre), Aphrodite (HH 5; her affair with Anchises), and Dionysus (HH 7). The shorter hymns (HH 8-33) address Ares, Artemis, Athena, Hera, Demeter, Rhea/Mother of Gods, Heracles, Asclepius, Castor and Polydeuces (Dioscuri), Pan, Hephaestus, Poseidon, Zeus, Hestia, the Muses, Helios, Selene, and Gaia. Each hymn is the primary text for the deity's cult epithets, functions, and origin myths as understood in the archaic and early classical periods."]], "columns": ["source_id", "title", "url", "source_type", "scope"], "primary_keys": ["source_id"], "primary_key_values": ["SRC_HOMERIC_HYMNS"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 82.59931899920048, "source": "jebboone/deitydb", "source_url": "https://github.com/jebboone/deitydb", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT"}
