Description
Theogony - Works and Days - Testimonia by Hesiod In this revised Loeb Classical Library edition, Glenn W. Most presents Hesiod's two extant poems, along with a selection of testimonia regarding his life and works. Theogony charts the history of the divine world, from the origin of the universe to the triumph of Zeus, while Works and Days delivers moral precepts on agriculture, navigation, and other matters. Hesiod's poetry provides a unique perspective on humanity, drawing on myths such as those of Pandora and the Golden Race. The second volume includes The Shield, along with fragments of other poems attributed to Hesiod in antiquity. These works offer valuable insights into the literary and historical context of ancient Greece. This edition has been thoroughly revised to take account of recent textual and interpretive scholarship, ensuring a nuanced understanding of Hesiod's poetry and its significance in the classical tradition.
