by Hesiod
Buy the book from:
This collection brings together the poetry associated with Hesiod, especially the Theogony and Works and Days. The poems describe the genealogy of the gods, the struggle for divine order, the myth of Prometheus and Pandora, and the harsh moral economy of labour, justice and farming life. The volume belongs to archaic Greece, where myth, ritual memory and practical instruction still sit close together.
