About this book
This collection gathers the works of Hesiod—the Theogony, which recounts the birth of the gods and the origins of the cosmos, and Works and Days, a poem of farming, justice, and moral advice—along with the Homeric Hymns celebrating the Greek gods. Together they form, with Homer, the foundation of Greek mythology and religion, preserving the ancient world's account of creation, the ages of man, and the divine order. Vivid and venerable, these early Greek poems are essential sources for the myths that shaped Western culture. For anyone drawn to classical mythology, they offer the stories of the gods at their very source.
