About this title

Synopsis

This book offers significant insights into Hesiod, one of the earliest Greek poets. Considered alongside his place in Greek literature and the classical canon, the book positions his lesser-known works, Opera et Dies, alongside the esteemed Theogony. By analyzing the depth of Hesiod's ideas, this book uncovers a proto-philosopher whose writings share many themes with later Greek thinkers. Exploring the historical and literary context of Hesiod's work, the book provides new perspectives on the man and his work, shedding light on the origins of Western philosophy.
