Homerica

A fragmentary group of poems and commentary attributed to Hesiod or Homer.

The remaining fragments of Homerica are brief, with the exception of the Battle of Frogs and Mice, and not very compelling but their antiquity makes them interesting.

Included in the Homerica are:

  1. the Expectation of Amphiaraus;
  2. the Taking of Oekhalia;
  3. the Phokais;
  4. the Margites;
  5. the Kerkopes; and
  6. the Battle of Frogs and Mice.

For Homerica and translations of the Epic Cycle, I recommend the Loeb Classical Library volume 57, ISBN 0674990633; you can sometimes find this book at the library or you can order it from the Book Shop on this site which is linked to Amazon.com.
