Publisher's Summary

The Greek poet, Hesiod, stands out as the first personality in European literature. The Theogony contains a genealogy of the gods from the beginning of time and an account of their violent struggles before the present order was established. The Works and Days, a compendium of advice for a life of honest husbandry, shines a unique and fascinating light on archaic Greek society, ethics, and superstition. Hesiod's poetry is the oldest source of the myths of Prometheus, Pandora, and the Golden Age.

Did no one edit this?

The story is, well,... you should know what you're getting into if you get this book. But the narrator ruins it completely. Her emotion is great, her accent is almost incomprehensible. There's one embarrassing section where it clearly wasn't edited and she reads over the same thing trying to figure out what it says. "bright-ied...?"
