About this product
Product Information
Hesiod, who lived in Boetia in the late eighth century BC, is one of the oldest known, and possibly the oldest of Greek poets. His Theogony contains a systematic genealogy of the gods from the beginning of the world and an account of the struggles of the Titans. In contrast, Works and Days is a compendium of moral and practical advice on husbandry, and throws unique and fascinating light on archaic Greek society. As well as offering the earliest known sources for the myths of Pandora, Prometheus and the Golden Age, Hesiod's poetry provides a valuable account of the ethics and superstitions of the society in which he lived. Unlike Homer, Hesiod writes about himself and his family, and he stands out as the first personality in European literature. This new translation, by a leading expert on the Hesiodic poems combines accuracy with readability. It is accompanied by an introduction and explanatory notes.

Reviews
"Good and readable. We can use it in our Myth and Greek courses."--David H.J. Larmour, Texas Tech Univ "This is a good, serviceable translation by the foremost authority of Hesiod....very clear and accessible version....concise introduction and useful notes...deserves to become a text of preference in courses in translation."--Robert L. Fowler, Classical World "The introduction blends charm, substance, and clarity for new readers of Hesiod. West makes him unintimidating, understandable, and above all human."--Carole Weaver, Iona College 'West is the finest Hesiod scholar of our time, if not of all time, and accordingly his English prose version is an altogether worthy by-product of his long, fruitful studies His introduction is masterly; and the endnotes, though brief, tell enough for most readers' information or curiosity."--Religious Studies Review "Very reasonably priced, yet with pleasing type-setting, a helpful introduction, and endnotes. Turning the endnotes into footnotes would have been even better."--Christopher Magri, Northwestern State University "Good, clear translation, useful notes."--Dr. Karl M. Petruso, University of Texas at Arlington, 'So much better than the corresponding Penguin translation of Hesiod. Theintroduction is splendid.'P.

Petruso,University of Texas at Arlington, 'The edition is admirably produced, mercifully free from misprints ... an edition with a stimulating Introduction, a very readable translation'JACT Review, 'West ... has now produced fine translations of these poems into fresh, lively and eminently readable English. It must quickly establish itself as the translation for English-speaking readers.'Jennifer R. March, University College, London. Classical Review, ' Readers who have no previous knowledge of Hesoid will find this an extremely accessible book, written in such a way that the non-specialist will be able to read, follow and enjoy these works. This is in part due to Professor West's excellent translations and partly due to his real andprofound interest in his subject, which is further reflectd by a most informative and useful introduction.'

Hourie, Dept. of Classics, University of Edinburgh, 'This is a very welcome publication, an authoritative translation of a major greek author at a reasonable price.
