Omschrijving

The Works and Days and Theogony is a collection of two epic poems written by the ancient Greek poet Hesiod. The first poem, Works and Days, is a didactic work that provides practical advice and moral instruction for farmers and laborers. It covers a wide range of topics such as agriculture, navigation, astrology, and justice. The poem also includes a creation myth and a moralizing fable about the two brothers, Prometheus and Epimetheus.The second poem, Theogony, is a cosmological work that narrates the genealogy and hierarchy of the Greek gods and goddesses, starting from Chaos and ending with the Olympian gods. The poem describes the birth, marriages, and conflicts of the gods, as well as the creation of the world and the origin of humanity. Theogony is considered one of the most important works of ancient Greek literature and has influenced many subsequent mythological and literary traditions.The Works and Days and Theogony are written in dactylic hexameter, a poetic meter commonly used in epic poetry. The poems are notable for their vivid imagery, moralistic tone, and cultural significance. They provide valuable insights into the ancient Greek worldview, social and economic practices, and religious beliefs.Guide to Greek Mythos (and a guide to farming), by, roughly speaking, Homer's contemporary Hesiod.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
