I've been looking for hymns to Hecate, Hades, Persephone, and the others. The Homeric Hymns list the hymns to gods like Zeus, Hera, Hermes, and many others. Does anyone know the name of the ones to the underworld deities, as I can't remember what their called. I'm also on one cup of coffee, so nothing makes sense.

There is an Orphic Hymn to Hekate and Persephone. I can't remember if there is one to Hades.

The Orphic Hymns
by Apostolos N. Athanassakis. You can get it on Amazon.
