This is a video of the text of The Hymn To The Dioscuri in modern English. I used Charles Boer's (out-of-print) 1970 translation as I find it the easiest to read. The unorthodox formatting and punctuation comes from this version of the text. It is not the classic Loeb translation that is seen most frequently.
This video contains no narration of the text.
From Wikipedia: The Homeric Hymns are a collection of thirty-three anonymous ancient Greek hymns celebrating individual gods. The hymns are "Homeric" in the sense that they employ the same epic meter—dactylic hexameter—as the Iliad and Odyssey, use many similar formulas and are couched in the same dialect. They were uncritically attributed to Homer himself in antiquity—from the earliest written reference to them, Thucydides (iii.104)—and the label has stuck. "The whole collection, as a collection, is Homeric in the only useful sense that can be put upon the word;" A. W. Verrall noted in 1894,[1] "that is to say, it has come down labeled as 'Homer' from the earliest times of Greek book-literature."
