Hesiod was an ancient Greek poet, contemporary of Homer. His works are well known as a major source of Greek mythology, agricultural techniques, early economic thought, archaic Greek astronomy and ancient timekeeping. This special edition (Large print with introduction and footnotes) brings together his three major works: The Theogony, Works and Days and The Shield of Heracles. Hesiod's Theogony is a large-scale synthesis of a vast variety of local Greek traditions concerning the gods, organized as a narrative that tells how they came to be and how they established permanent control over the cosmos.
