Description
Works and Days by Hesiod A new verse translation by Alicia Stallings brings to life one of ancient Greece's most important works of poetry. Ostensibly written to chide his brother, this poem recounts the story of Pandora's box and humanity's decline since the Golden Age, yet it can also be read as a celebration of rural life and a hymn to work. Hesiod's Works and Days is a foundational work that explores the human condition, delving into themes of nature, work, and the passage of time. Alicia Stallings's translation breathes new life into Hesiod's vivid poetry, rendering it accessible to a new generation of readers. Published by Penguin Publishing Group, this edition features 112 pages in paperback format.
