Book Reviews of Theogony, Works and Days (Oxford World's Classics)

Book Review: Hesiod and a great glimpse in history
Summary: 4 Stars

Growing up the only outlet I knew to get history stories of this time period would be in the Bible. I ofter thought what about all the other nations, what were their beliefs.

Well, Hesiod in Theogony answers that question. Theogony goes through creation from his beliefs to all of the Gods they worship. Very fascinating and gives further insight in the beliefs of ancient Greece as well as lifestyles.

The Theogony contains a systematic genealogy and account of the struggles of the gods, and the Works and Days offers a compendium of moral and practical advice for a life of honest husbandry.
