Reviews
"Richmond Lattimore is a fine translator of poetry because he has a poetic voice of his own, authentic and unmistakable and yet capable of a remarkable range of modulation... Hesiod is earth-bound and dun-colored, indeed part of his purpose is to discredit the brilliance and the ideals of heroism glorified in the Homeric tradition. But Hesiod too is poetry... and Lattimore's is the only version that makes the English reader aware that it is." - New York Times Book Review

    Hesiod

    Richmond Lattimore's translation of Hesiods "The Works and Days, Theogony and the Shield of Herakles" is the finest and the most readable available. Writing as a contemporary of Homer it provides a wonderful insight to the life of the people of that period. Theogony is the basis for many of the popular works of Greek mythology and explains the complex web of relationships among the various Greek Gods. Richmond Lattimore's translation is very readable for the modern reader and gives a perspective that easy to understand and yet conveys the feeling of the original text.

    Preferred translator

    The Richmond Lattimore translation of Hesiod is the best I have found. Lattimore uses the Greek, not Latin names, for gods and heroes alike, so you know who is being talked about without having to find a Greek-Latin name comparison chart. The poetry flows about as well as translated poetry can. And the content is interesting: "Works and Days" is a good source for cultural information, "Theogony" and "The Shield of Herakles" are both helpful in understanding ancient Greek myth.
