Cambridge University Press, 2009. — 216 p. Hesiod’s Cosmos offers a comprehensive interpretation of both the Theogony and the Works and Days and demonstrates how the two Hesiodic poems must be read together as two halves of an integrated whole embracing both the divine and the human cosmos. After first offering a survey of the structure of both poems, Professor Clay reveals...
Bruxelles: Latomus. Revue d'études latines, 1963. — 63 p. — (Collection Latomus 68). Une lecture d’Hésiode, si naïve soit-elle, invite à poser ce que dans un langage trop moderne nous appellerions le problème des « revendications sociales » d’Hésiode, sans doute parce que notre oreille est devenue plus fine, malgré nous, pour percevoir les cris de révolte, les échos de luttes...
University of California Press, 2004. — 220 p. In Works and Days, one of the two long poems that have come down to us from Hesiod, the poet writes of farming, morality, and what seems to be a very nasty quarrel with his brother Perses over their inheritance. In this book, Anthony T. Edwards extracts from the poem a picture of the social structure of Ascra, the hamlet in...
Oxford, 1971. — 256 p. — (Publications of the Philological Society 22).

In this collection a team of international scholars offers the first attempt to explore the poem’s...
Cambridge University Press, 2017. — 346 p. This book selects central texts illustrating the literary reception of Hesiod's Works and Days in antiquity and considers how these moments were crucial in fashioning the idea of 'didactic literature'. A central chapter considers the development of ancient ideas about didactic poetry, relying not so much on explicit critical theory as on...
Brill, 2022. — 374 p. — (Mnemosyne, Supplements 455). What is the role of Hesiod’s poetry in the beginnings of Greek philosophy? This book explores the question by going beyond the traditional responses that stress either continuities or discontinuities between myth and philosophy. Instead, this volume attempts a reflexive or response-oriented approach, that highlights the...
Brill, 2010. — ix, 439 p. — (Mnemosyne, Supplements 325). Hesiod: The Other Poet is a study dealing with the role of Hesiod in the imagination and the collective memory of the ancient Greeks. Its main hypothesis is that Hesiod's image was to a large degree formed by the picture of Homer: Hesiod is decidedly different when presented as allied with, opposed to or simply without...
Oxford University Press, 2018. — 552 p. — ISBN: 0190209038. This volume brings together 29 junior and senior scholars to discuss aspects of Hesiod's poetry and its milieu and to explore questions of reception over two and half millennia from shortly after the poems' conception to Twitter hashtags. Rather than an exhaustive study of Hesiodic themes, the Handbook is conceived as...
Leiden; Boston: Brill, 2009. — 360 p. — (Brill's Companions to Classical Studies). This is the first full-scale companion on Hesiod to appear in English.

Cambridge University Press, 2014. — 275 p. This book examines the extant fragments of the archaic Greek poem known in antiquity as Hesiod's Catalogue of Women. Kirk Ormand shows that the poem should be read intertextually with other hexameter poetry from the eighth to sixth century BCE, especially Homer, Hesiod, and the Cyclic epics. Through literary interaction with these...
Johns Hopkins University Press, 1977. — 160 p. On Mount Helikon the Muses meet Hesiod, give him the staff, and breathe into him their divine voice (7h. 24 ff.). Imbued with their song, Hesiod can sing about the past and the future (Th. 32), interpret and sing the mind of Zeus (Erga 661), and recount an “immense” or “divine” song (Erga 662); he masters the entire holy history of...
Oxford University Press, 2015. — 288 p. This book both offers a reading of Hesiod’s Theogony and traces the reception and shadows of this authoritative Greek creation story in Greek and Roman texts up to Milton’s Paradise Lost. It also considers the poem in light of Near Eastern creation stories, including the Enûma elish and Genesis, as well as Freud’s Civilization and Its...
Cambridge University Press, 2015. — 280 p. Hesiod was regarded by the Greeks as a foundational figure of their culture, alongside Homer.

The first half of the book is dedicated to Hesiodic reception in Pindaric...
Brill, 2004. — 223 p. — (Mnemosyne, Supplements 255). This volume offers analysis of the narratological structure of the Theogony with the purpose of elucidating a major, unifying theme in this poem: the relationship between the divine and mortal realms. The techniques of narratology are herein employed to support the argument that Hesiod portrays the cosmos as sharply divided...
De Gruyter, 2017. — 318 p. — (Trends in Classics - Supplementary Volumes 50).

Whereas other studies have concentrated either on the interpretation of the best preserved work of...
Brill, 1985. — x, 190 p. — (Mnemosyne, Supplements 86). This is a word-for-word commentary on the first part (vv. 1-382) of Hesiod's Works and Days. Special attention has been paid to peculiarities of grammar and idiom, but also to figures of style and the poet's train of thought. All interpretations - many of them which are new - are documented as fully, but at the same time...
