Theogony and Works and Days

Author: West, M.L. Hesiod

To use with Leithart’s Guide, Heroes of the City of Man. This new, fully-annotated translation by a leading expert on Hesiodic poems combines accuracy with readability and includes an introduction and explanatory notes on these two works by one of the oldest known Greek poets. The Theogony contains a systematic genealogy and account of the struggles of the gods, and the Works and Days offers a compendium of moral and practical advice for a life of honest husbandry.

About the Author

M.L. West is a Professor of Greek at Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, University of London.
