The Theogony and Works and Days are written by Hesiod, who was one of the earliest Greek poets. The Theogony is largely a historical geneaology of gods which starts at the beginning of the world. Works and Days includes both partical and moral advice on husbandry and is widely known as one of the earliest sources for many important myths including that of Pandora and Prometheus. This is an excellent publication for those who study or are interested in greek mythology and also those who are fans or collectors of the writings of Hesiod.

Contemporáneo de las primeras colonizaciones griegas en la épocaarcaica y de la consolidación del estado aristocrático, Hesíodo deAscra (ss. VIII-VII a.C.) se sitúa en la frontera entre dos mundos ydos sistemas de pensamiento. "Teogonía" se ordena en torno a unasucesión de divinidades marcada por la violencia y que acaba con eltriunfo de Zeus, garantía de un cierto orden moral. "Trabajos y días"se estructura alrededor de una serie de secuencias o temas diversos,como el mito de Pandora o las edades del mundo, que se van encadenando y desarrollando al hilo de la idea de justicia y exaltación deltrabajo, denunciando las imposiciones que sufrían los campesinos deBeocia. Completan esta edición "Escudo" y "Certamen", obras deredacción posterior, pero atribuidas tradicionalmente a Hesíodo.Traducción e introducción de Adelaida y M.? Angeles Martín

Theogony and Works and Days Oxford University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

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. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Performances of Greek epics customarily began with a hymn to a god or goddess - as Hesiod's "Theogony" and "Works and Days" do. A collection of 33 such poems has come down to us from antiquity under the title "Hymns of Homer". This volume contains, in addition to the hymns, fragments of five comic poems that were connected with Homer's name in or just after the Classical period (but are not today believed to be by the author of the "Iliad" or the "Odyssey"). Here too is a collection of ancient accounts of the poet's life. The hymns range widely in length: two are over 500 lines long; several run only a half-dozen lines. Among the longest are the hymn To Demeter, which tells the foundational story of the Eleusinian Mysters, and To Hermes, distinctive in being amusing. The comic poems gathered as Homeric apocrypha include "Margites", the "Battle of Frogs and Mice" and a fragment of a perhaps earlier poem of the same type called "Battle of the Weasel and the Mice". The edition of Lives of Homer contains "The Contest of Homer and Hesiod" and nine other biographical accounts.
