Widely considered the first poet in the Western tradition to address the matter of his own experience, Hesiod occupies a seminal position in literary history. His Theogony brings together and formalizes many of the narratives of Greek myth, detailing the genealogy of its gods and their violent struggles for power. The Works and Days seems on its face to be a compendium of advice about managing a farm, but it ranges far beyond this scope to meditate on morality, justice, the virtues of a good life, and the place of humans in the universe. These poems are concerned with orderliness and organization, and they proclaim those ideals from smallscale to vast, from a handful of seeds to the story of the cosmos. Presented here in a bilingual edition, Johnsons translation takes care to preserve the structure of Hesiods lines and sentences, achieving a sonic and rhythmic balance that enables us to hear his music across the millennia.
