The Works and Days; Theogony; The Shield of Herakles Hesiod
Epic poems by one who has been called the first Greek philosopher and theologian.
The Works and Days; Theogony; The Shield of Herakles Avis
Richmond Lattimore is a fine translator of poetry because he has a poetic voice of his own, authentic and unmistakable and yet capable of a remarkable range of modulation. . . . Hesiod is earth-bound and dun-colored; indeed part of his purpose is to discredit the brilliance and the ideals of heroism glorified in the Homeric tradition. But Hesiod too is poetry . . . and Lattimore's is the only version that makes the English reader aware that it is. -Moses Hadas, New York Times Book Review
