Excerpt: ... tempting Providence (oin avfifbipet deofiaxetv). There is no advantage to a man in sowing or planting what he would like, rather than what the ground pleases to produce or nurture. If the land, owing to the sloth of its tenants, is not able to show its nature, one can learn a truer account of it from the observation of any neighbouring place often than from a neighbouring man (i.e. tenant). At the same time land left untitled (xepa-dovaa) exhibits its nature. If it produces a fine crop of wild plants, then with cultivation it will produce a fine crop of cultivated plants. Even those inexperienced in farming are able to distinguish the nature of land. S. Yes, even seamen, passing hurriedly along the coast, do not hesitate to characterize land as good or bad according to the crops they see, agreeing in general with experts in agriculture. /. Where then shall I begin my precepts in agriculture--you know a great deal. S. I want to know--being a philosopher--by what method of culture I can, if I will, get the best crop of barley or of wheat. /. Well, you know, first of all, that one must prepare the fallow for sowing (rw mropui veov det V7repyd er8at). S. Yes. I. Suppose then we commenced ploughing (dpovv) the land in winter i S. Nay, it would be mud. /. Well, summer? S. The ground will be hard for a team to stir (o-xXippa... Ktve'tv To) feuyei). /. I dare say then we must begin this operation in spring. S. Yes, for it is natural that the ground when stirred at that season should most of all be loosened. 7. And also the grass (noav), being turned up at that season, will furnish manure (eojrpoi/) for the land, and at the same time it will not shed seed so as to grow. You know, I fancy, that if the fallow (ij veos) is to be good, it...

Book excerpt: Hesiod was a Greek poet generally thought by scholars to have been active between 750 and 650 BC, around the same time as Homer.

Ancient authors credited him and Homer with establishing Greek religious customs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Works of HesiodHesiod was a Greek poet generally thought by scholars to have been active between 750 and 650 BC, around the same time as Homer. He is generally regarded as the first written poet in the Western tradition to regard himself as an individual persona with an active role to play in his subject. Ancient authors credited Hesiod and Homer with establishing Greek religious customs. Modern scholars refer to him as a major source on Greek mythology, farming techniques, early economic thought (he is sometimes considered history's first economist), archaic Greek astronomy and ancient time-keeping.The dating of his life is a contested issue in scholarly circles and it is covered below in Dating. Epic narrative allowed poets like Homer no opportunity for personal revelations. However, Hesiod's extant work comprises didactic poems in which he went out of his way to let his audience in on a few details of his life. There are three explicit references in Works and Days, as well as some passages in his Theogony that support inferences made by scholars. The former poem says that his father came from Cyme in Aeolis (on the coast of Asia Minor, a little south of the island Lesbos) and crossed the sea to settle at a hamlet, near Thespiae in Boeotia, named Ascra, "a cursed place, cruel in winter, hard in summer, never pleasant" (Works, l. 640). Hesiod's patrimony there, a small piece of ground at the foot of Mount Helicon, occasioned lawsuits with his brother Perses, who seems, at first, to have cheated him of his rightful share thanks to corrupt authorities or "kings" but later became impoverished and ended up scrounging from the thrifty poet (Works l. 35, 396).Contents1.

Book excerpt: Though attributed to Hesiod (eighth or seventh century BCE) in antiquity, the "Catalogue of Women," a presentation of legendary Greek heroes and episodes according to maternal genealogy; "The Shield," a counterpoint to the Iliadic shield of Achilles; and certain poems that survive as fragments were likely not composed by Hesiod himself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Theogony is one of the most important mythical texts to survive from antiquity, and we devote the first section to it. It tells of the creation of the present world order under the rule of almighty Zeus. The Works and Days, in the second section, describes a bitter dispute between Hesiod and his brother over the disposition of their father's property, a theme that allows Hesiod to range widely over issues of right and wrong. The Shield of Herakles, whose centerpiece is a long description of a work of art, is not by Hesiod, at least most of it, but it was always attributed to him in antiquity. It is Hesiodic in style and has always formed part of the Hesiodic corpus. It makes up the third section of this book"--Provided by publisher.

Download or read book Hesiod Theogony Works and days Testimonia written by Hesiod and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hesiod describes himself as a Boeotian shepherd who heard the Muses call upon him to sing about the gods. His exact dates are unknown, but he has often been considered a younger contemporary of Homer. This volume of the new Loeb Classical Library edition offers a general introduction, a fluid translation facing an improved Greek text of Hesiod's two extant poems, and a generous selection of testimonia from a wide variety of ancient sources regarding Hesiod's life, works, and reception. In Theogony Hesiod charts the history of the divine world, narrating the origin of the universe and the rise of the gods, from first beginnings to the triumph of Zeus, and reporting on the progeny of Zeus and of goddesses in union with mortal men. In Works and Days Hesiod shifts his attention to the world of men, delivering moral precepts and practical advice regarding agriculture, navigation, and many other matters; along the way he gives us the myths of Pandora and of the Golden, Silver, and other Races of Men.
