Invocations For Greek Deities

There are a wealth of ancient hymns for Greek deities. Taylor’s translations of the Orphic Hymns are incredibly compelling, and the Homeric Hymns often include wonderful stories of the deities. Here, however, I am assembling more modern invocations, which are, nevertheless, congruent with ancient mythology.

Writing invocations is a type of creative exegesis. Therefore, I write invocations as a way of sharing my sense about the deities. My goal is to write one invocation for each Olympian, plus ones for Hekate and Pan, as well as a few others. This is my master list, and links will be added as work is completed.
