Hesiod: Volume I, Theogony. Works and Days. Testimonia (Loeb Classical Library No. 57N) (v. 1)

Hesiod

Loeb Classical Library, 2007

A great buy and a great gift!
This is a great edition of the works of Hesiod, with the translation done remarkably well. As a Greek, I enjoyed both books-Hesiod: Volume I, Theogony. Works and Days. Testimonia (Loeb Classical Library No. 57N) and Hesiod: Volume II, The Shield. Catalogue of Women. ...

Works and Days and Theogony

Hesiod, Robert Lamberton

Hackett Publishing Company, 1993

Hesiod for pleasure? You bet!
At first I found the voice Lombardo uses for "Works and Days" a little off-putting. I mean, you don't expect an ancient Greek poet to come off like one of Huck Finn's more literate relatives. But as I continued reading, and, indeed, I had a hard time stopping, I was ...

Hesiod

Digireads.com, 2008

Hesiod, Richard S. Caldwell

Focus Publishing/R. Pullins Company, 1987

Ian Myles Slater on An Excellent Package
This is a review of the extensively annotated translation of "Hesiod's Theogony" by Richard S. Caldwell -- just in case, as sometimes happens, it appears with a different translation. For those who are not familiar with it already, this is an account, in Homeric verse, ...

The Works and Days; Theogony; The Shield of Herakles (Ann Arbor Paperbacks)

Hesiod

University of Michigan Press, 1991

a beautiful work
Hesiod is often overshadowed by his--most probable--contemporary, Homer. Both poets descend from ancient oral traditions, and are considered by many scholars today to be the pinnacle of this tradition. One can see why after reading one of their epic poems. However, ...

Works of Hesiod and the Homeric Hymns
Hesiod

University Of Chicago Press, 2007

In Works of Hesiod and the Homeric Hymns , highly acclaimed poet and translator Daryl Hine brings new life to the words of Hesiod and the world of Archaic Greece. Unlike most available prose renderings of their works, Hine's illuminating translations present these classics as they originally appeared, in verse. This volume includes Hesiod's ...

Theogony and Works and Days

Written in the late eighth century BC by Hesiod, one of the oldest known of Greek poets, Theogony and Works and Days represent the earliest account of the origin of the Greek gods, and an invaluable compendium of advice for leading a moral life, both offering unique insights into archaic Greek society.

The Poems of Hesiod
R. M. Frazer, Hesiod

University of Oklahoma Press, 1983

Theogony, Works and Days (Oxford World's Classics)

Hesiod

Oxford University Press, USA, 1999

The Ancient Greek's handbook
"Theogony" is one of, if not "the", original sources of Greek mythology. Hesiod tells us the full genealogy and origins of the Greek gods, and how the hegemony of Zeus was established after bitter fights and prolific intercourse with godesses and human females. Perhaps ...

Hesiod: Theogony, Works and Days, Shield

Hesiod

The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2004

Hear and see, O Zeus! Let your decrees be straight
There are many editions of Hesiod's (c. 700 BC) works, but I find this one by Prof. Apostolos Athanassakis the best. While I can't comment on the translation, the introduction to Hesiod, the introduction to the individual works, the extensive notes as well as the size ...

Hesiod

Oxford University Press, USA, 1990

This invaluable new edition incorporates additional fragments contained in the appendix of the second edition, and includes some further discoveries, recent research on the relative placing of certain papyrus fragments, and an updated index of names.

Hesiod's Theogony and Works & Days (Focus Classical Library)
Hesiod

Focus Publishing, 2008

Greek poet Hesiod took many lines of thought and knowledge myth, fable, personal experience, practical understanding and wove them into one great whole. He did as much with the origins of the Greek gods in the Theogony, and then did the same in creating his manual of moral and practical advice, Works and Days. Here, Stephanie Nelson s translation ...

Works and Days, Theogony and The Shield of Heracles

Hesiod

Dover Publications, 2006

Hesiod : Works and Days, Theogony, and the Shield of Heracles
No introduction in the book so you are left to fend for yourself as far as the significance of the work goes. Fairly decent translation. The version that maintains the poetry is a better bet.
