3/30: better every time

The Homeric Hymn to Hermes wasn't a text I came to know and love in graduate school, but I teach it in my Myth course and over the years I've come to enjoy it so, so much.  It wasn't love at first sight, and that's kind of nice as a reminder that sometimes good relationships (whether with people or texts) need to grow slowly.  It's been a long day, but I'm so glad that I got to end it by reading this poem in preparation for tomorrow's class.
