- I'm not sure the colon would be wrong, but a comma is perfectly correct here and reads better to me. UndercoverClassicist T· C 08:52, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

- “However, few direct statements denying Homer's authorship of the Hymns survive from antiquity: in the second century CE, the Greek geographer Pausanias maintained their attribution to Homer.” - I think this would work better as two separate sentences, cut off at the colon. That would make something like: “However, few direct statements denying Homer’s authorship of the Hymns survive from antiquity. The Greek geographer Pausanias maintained their attribution to Homer in the second century CE.”.
- I'm not sure it would, as the second part follows from the first: with a full stop, the thought becomes isolated and the connection lost. It's not the shortest sentence, but I don't think it's long enough at 27 words to make splitting it essential.

- Looking over the sentence again, I'm not really sure why I even suggested splitting in the first place. The connection is indeed enough reason to keep them it as a single unit. The Morrison Man ( talk) 12:38, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

- “At least the longer hymns” - Leave out at least.
- That would change the meaning, since we don't know that the shorter hymns were not also included in these editions. UndercoverClassicist T· C 08:52, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- There are now two conflicting timespans for the Hellenistic period in the article. Previously mentioned as post-323 BCE, and here mentioned as 323-30 BCE. The latter is correct, and I’d change the former accordingly.
- “listed as today "Homeric"” - “which we currently list as “Homeric””
- I've changed to listed today as, which is more grammatical, but am not a fan of the second-person plural here: it would raise a question as to who "we" are and aren't.

- Oh, the Hymns certainly aren't the work of a single author, but we don't really think of "Homer" as a single author now anyway, so the label is unlikely to go anywhere even though discussions about the Hymns' dates and circumstances of composition are likely to continue.

- Perhaps also link Callimachus here, and is there no bluelink for Proclus or his Hymns?
- Could link Callimachus, but it's not a million miles away from his first mention, so I'm not sure I see a compelling case to break the usual habit of linking only on first mention, or where a link is particularly helpful. Linked Proclus; "Hymns (Proclus)" isn't an article yet, and I'm not sure it's ever likely to become one distinct from the main Proclus article.

- I've tried something slightly different, and created the redirect

- Explain siglum in brackets.
- I can't immediately think of a good, short way to do it: we need "conventional symbol indicating the name of a manuscript", which is a bit long for brackets. To me, it's pretty clear to any reader that the character Ω is whatever a siglum is: it's not massively important that they understand it as meaning anything more than letter/symbol/designation, so I think we've got the right balance where those who just want to read the article have what they need to do so, and those who want to go further can click the link.
- Your reasoning is sound, though I do believe an explanation would add some extra value. Would the shorter "symbol indicating a manuscript" work, or is that too abbreviated? The Morrison Man ( talk) 12:38, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- No, I'm not sure that's quite right either! Will keep thinking on this. UndercoverClassicist T· C 13:07, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

- “discovered M” - maybe change to “discovered manuscript M”? (not essential)

- “M has among its sources a lost manuscript” - “One of the sources M draws from is a lost manuscript”
- I'm not seeing a problem or improvement here?

- “that manuscript has also been suggested as being Ω” - “it has also been suggested that Ψ and Ω represent the same manuscript”

- “They seem originally to have” - They seem to have originally functioned
- “Originally, they appear to have been performed by singers accompanying themselves on a stringed instrument” - Could it be beneficial to list a few examples here? Just so people have a better idea of what instruments were being used at the time.

- Also link Dionysus, Dioscuri and Hermes.

- “Few secure references” - Maybe change to something like Few confirmed references? Not sure that secure conveys what you're trying to say (which I assume is cases where we know for certain that the reference points to the Homeric Hymns).
- "Secure" is typical in the literature for this kind of thing (as in "the evidence/case against him is secure": "confirmed", as a passive participle, has the problem that it implies that someone has confirmed them, which isn't the case. I've tried "definite" -- as you say, the point is that we're not always sure whether the reference is to the Hymn itself, or simply to the story that is the source of the Hymn.

- Hm: it only links to
myth, at least at the moment, which I think would not be particularly useful (
MOS:OVERLINK advises us to avoid linking common words unless they're being used in an unusual fashion) and would create a
WP:SEAOFBLUE, which is also discouraged. In this instance, I think the costs outweigh the benefits: the word itself isn't particularly common, but "myth" is, and the -ographer suffix is also pretty widely understood.

- Link Apollo
- Some of the hymn titles are italicised, others are not. I’d suggest making this consistent throughout.
- Where the title itself is used (e.g.
Later in the Aeneid, the account of the theft of Hercules's cattle by the monster Cacus is based upon that of the theft of Apollo's cattle by Hermes in the Homeric Hymn to Hermes
, it is italicised. Where the words "hymn(s) to X" are used simply as a description (e.g.His own works quoted from the hymns to Demeter and Apollo
, it isn't, and "hymn" is lc. I think this is consistent; let me know if I've missed any. UndercoverClassicist T· C 13:16, 18 May 2024 (UTC)- The only possible one I've found is the "Hymn to Hosts" in the first explanatory note.

- Where the title itself is used (e.g.
- “Other poets of the fifth century onwards, such as Musaeus Grammaticus and Coluthus, made use of them.” - I feel like the sentence doesn’t read very smoothly, maybe this could work better in a structure like: “Other poets such as Musaeus Grammaticus and Coluthus made use of them from the fifth century onwards.”
- Good in itself, but would create a problem with the preceding sentence:
In late antiquity, the direct influence of the Homeric Hymns was comparatively limited until the fifth century CE ...
. The problem is that the sharp line at the end of the fifth century, which we need for modern readers, is artificial and doesn't mean much for the people and poems involved here. UndercoverClassicist T· C 13:16, 18 May 2024 (UTC)- Alternative:
From the fifth century onwards, other poets such as Musaeus Grammaticus and Coluthus made use of them.
, maybe this works better with the preceding sentence? The Morrison Man ( talk) 13:51, 18 May 2024 (UTC)- I think that's workable: changed. UndercoverClassicist T· C 15:33, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

- What is the reasoning for redlinking some names of individual Hymns but not others?
- The Hymns have wildly different lengths and literary/scholarly impact. The Hymn to Demeter could very easily be a very long article, as could the Hymn to Aphrodite and the Hymn to Hermes: all are very regularly discussed in scholarship, sometimes at book length, and have had reasonably large cultural influence. Others, such as the Hymn to Dionysus are comparatively short and have not had those things. It might be possible to write a GNG-keeping article on some of them (particularly the longer Dionysus hymn), but I've chosen to redlink only those which I think have really compelling cases. Some, like the Hymn to Hosts, haven't a snowball's chance unless a whole new branch of scholarship springs up.

- “However, few direct statements denying Homer's authorship of the Hymns survive from antiquity: in the second century CE, the Greek geographer Pausanias maintained their attribution to Homer.” - I think this would work better as two separate sentences, cut off at the colon. That would make something like: “However, few direct statements denying Homer’s authorship of the Hymns survive from antiquity. The Greek geographer Pausanias maintained their attribution to Homer in the second century CE.”.
- I'm not sure it would, as the second part follows from the first: with a full stop, the thought becomes isolated and the connection lost. It's not the shortest sentence, but I don't think it's long enough at 27 words to make splitting it essential.

- “At least the longer hymns” - Leave out at least.
- That would change the meaning, since we don't know that the shorter hymns were not also included in these editions. UndercoverClassicist T· C 08:52, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- There are now two conflicting timespans for the Hellenistic period in the article. Previously mentioned as post-323 BCE, and here mentioned as 323-30 BCE. The latter is correct, and I’d change the former accordingly.
- “listed as today "Homeric"” - “which we currently list as “Homeric””
- I've changed to listed today as, which is more grammatical, but am not a fan of the second-person plural here: it would raise a question as to who "we" are and aren't.

- Oh, the Hymns certainly aren't the work of a single author, but we don't really think of "Homer" as a single author now anyway, so the label is unlikely to go anywhere even though discussions about the Hymns' dates and circumstances of composition are likely to continue.

- Perhaps also link Callimachus here, and is there no bluelink for Proclus or his Hymns?
- Could link Callimachus, but it's not a million miles away from his first mention, so I'm not sure I see a compelling case to break the usual habit of linking only on first mention, or where a link is particularly helpful. Linked Proclus; "Hymns (Proclus)" isn't an article yet, and I'm not sure it's ever likely to become one distinct from the main Proclus article.

- Explain siglum in brackets.
- I can't immediately think of a good, short way to do it: we need "conventional symbol indicating the name of a manuscript", which is a bit long for brackets. To me, it's pretty clear to any reader that the character Ω is whatever a siglum is: it's not massively important that they understand it as meaning anything more than letter/symbol/designation, so I think we've got the right balance where those who just want to read the article have what they need to do so, and those who want to go further can click the link.
- Your reasoning is sound, though I do believe an explanation would add some extra value. Would the shorter "symbol indicating a manuscript" work, or is that too abbreviated? The Morrison Man ( talk) 12:38, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

- “Few secure references” - Maybe change to something like Few confirmed references? Not sure that secure conveys what you're trying to say (which I assume is cases where we know for certain that the reference points to the Homeric Hymns).
- "Secure" is typical in the literature for this kind of thing (as in "the evidence/case against him is secure": "confirmed", as a passive participle, has the problem that it implies that someone has confirmed them, which isn't the case. I've tried "definite" -- as you say, the point is that we're not always sure whether the reference is to the Hymn itself, or simply to the story that is the source of the Hymn.

- Some of the hymn titles are italicised, others are not. I’d suggest making this consistent throughout.
- Where the title itself is used (e.g.
Later in the Aeneid, the account of the theft of Hercules's cattle by the monster Cacus is based upon that of the theft of Apollo's cattle by Hermes in the Homeric Hymn to Hermes
, it is italicised. Where the words "hymn(s) to X" are used simply as a description (e.g.His own works quoted from the hymns to Demeter and Apollo

- Where the title itself is used (e.g.
- “Other poets of the fifth century onwards, such as Musaeus Grammaticus and Coluthus, made use of them.” - I feel like the sentence doesn’t read very smoothly, maybe this could work better in a structure like: “Other poets such as Musaeus Grammaticus and Coluthus made use of them from the fifth century onwards.”
- Good in itself, but would create a problem with the preceding sentence:
In late antiquity, the direct influence of the Homeric Hymns was comparatively limited until the fifth century CE ...
. The problem is that the sharp line at the end of the fifth century, which we need for modern readers, is artificial and doesn't mean much for the people and poems involved here. UndercoverClassicist T· C 13:16, 18 May 2024 (UTC)- Alternative:

- What is the reasoning for redlinking some names of individual Hymns but not others?
- The Hymns have wildly different lengths and literary/scholarly impact. The Hymn to Demeter could very easily be a very long article, as could the Hymn to Aphrodite and the Hymn to Hermes: all are very regularly discussed in scholarship, sometimes at book length, and have had reasonably large cultural influence. Others, such as the Hymn to Dionysus are comparatively short and have not had those things. It might be possible to write a GNG-keeping article on some of them (particularly the longer Dionysus hymn), but I've chosen to redlink only those which I think have really compelling cases. Some, like the Hymn to Hosts, haven't a snowball's chance unless a whole new branch of scholarship springs up.
