| Opplysninger | Die Vorlage enthält insgesamt 3 Werke. - Includes bibliographical references (pages 173-175) and index. - Publication date from publisher's website. - "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"--. - "The Theogony is one of the most important mythical texts to survive from antiquity, and we devote the first section to it.
