Theogony and Works and Days by Hesiod (Paperback)

Composed around 700 BC, the poems of Hesiod stand beside Homer as the earliest works of Greek literature. Theogony tells the story of the origins of the universe and the generations of gods, from Chaos and Earth to the Titans and the triumph of Zeus. It is a key source for much of the Greek mythology we know today.

Works and Days offers practical and moral advice on farming, justice and hard work, and includes the famous myths of Pandora and the Ages of Man. This Oxford World's Classics paperback presents both poems in a clear translation with introduction and notes, perfect for students and lovers of myth.
