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.
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.
其实这不是书评,只是简单的读书笔记。。。 诚如苗半仙说:工作与时日是公元前八世纪一个苦逼的哥哥写给好吃懒做的花花公子弟弟的劝谕诗。 开头就提到公正,倒不见得说明这首诗也是所谓“立法诗”,而是因为此诗的背景是弟弟靠一场不公正的诉讼获得了父亲留给他们的大部分财产...
评分赫西俄德是荷马之后古希腊最早的诗人,以长诗《工作与时日》和《神谱》闻名于世。 《工作与时日》【作为前8世纪唯一的文学作品,是西方历史上第一部现实主义作品】包括5个部分: 1、献给缪斯,赞颂宙斯万能。 2、劝导人们要勤奋工作。一开始用了两个不和女神的比喻,两个“不和...

评分导师问我,为什么觉得这本书好?我的回答很简短:鲜明的立场和朴素的正义。在人类社会的童年时期,稳固的秩序建构了最基本的”爱憎分明“,当现代人渐渐落为相对主义者,和圆润的理论主义者时,我们是否还记得小时候最单纯的好与坏?《中庸》讲:“君子素其位而行,不...
评分从词藻入手,从社政分析,能亲近几许赫西俄德自我圆满的神话境地? 注释建立在赫西俄德具有严谨逻辑的前提下,即使命运三女神认了两次爹,如果没有了前提,那注释的意义? 不如掉头从自然科学的角度来读神话,既然提丰已经是台风(龙卷风),那其他的神仙就眉目鲜活了,bbc和...
not fully appreciated
评分这本书太宝藏了…好嗨哦。
评分Textbook for a Greek reading class. After taking the class, I realize I'm more of a prose girl than a poetry one. Glad to know how to find the meters. In addition to that, glad to know that the Greek text writes about Pandora's jar, not a box--apparently, the century bears a translation mistake.

评分Theogony finished. Better read secondary sources first to get a sense of the complicated genealogy of Greek gods. I focused on the 'Chasm-Sky-Cronus-Zeus' line.
