Description

Greek poet Hesiod's surviving works are a testament to his enduring influence on Western literature. This collection includes three of his most significant poems: "Theogony", which explores the creation of the world and the origins of the Greek gods; "Works and Days", a didactic poem that argues for the importance of hard work in achieving success; and "Shield of Heracles", a narrative that details the conflict between two mythological figures. Hesiod's poetry offers insights into the cultural and philosophical values of ancient Greece, providing a unique window into the lives and beliefs of its people. This edition features translations by Hugh G. Evelyn-White, printed on premium acid-free paper. The poems in this collection are considered some of the most important works of classical antiquity, offering a fascinating glimpse into the mythology and values of ancient Greece.
