    A wonderful piece of work
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2014*

There is something about Stanley Lombardo's translation of "Works and Days" that makes me - no expert in this field - think of Bob Dylan or even Gordon Lightfoot - singers from the 60s and 70s who "sang story" in words that had to be heard over and over again, and never mind the CD liner notes. "Works And Days" comes across as run-together songs of wisdom rooted in very specific, localized moments of place, time and actions. I began reading it silently - a very modern habit, after all - and after a page or two found myself reading aloud because Lombardo has given, or caught, a definite, distinctive and specific voice here. Yes, rustic and vulgar, but there are notes of pithy sharpness, and little riffs of humor, and always just enough "what IS he talking about??" to leave you with a sense of  mysteries and insights beyond the surface practical knowledge of seasonal planting, tending, harvesting and harrowing"Theogony" comes in a differently distinctive voice, a really energetic narrative-poetic voice that can be both intimate and resonant at the same time. For those of us who have half or completely forgotten our Greek gods, goddesses, heroes and muses, here it all is, this is where they were all organized into generations and Ages of This and That...  There is something close to soft affection in places (the Storm King's daughters, e.g. at line 50ff), while the recitative concerning the battle of the Titans - especially the fiery, thunderous descent of Zeus - needs Beethoven's Fifth crashing behind the scenes.A wonderful piece of work; I want the audio format for grandchild and god-children. Great stuff. Buy it.

    Go back to the beginning of Civilization with a master story teller.
  

*by X***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2014*

Everything you've ever heard about Greek mythology starts with this guy.  He might have even been before Homer, or they might have been contemporaries.  More importantly, the root of all Western thought, philosophy  is here too.  When Hesiod wrote about the Greek pantheon the Old Testament was just appearing in its final form.  The introduction and commentary are great as well.  You will surprised by how many of our wise sayings came from these books.  Why read hand - me - down ideas on Philosophy when the originals are still with us and so interesting and easy to read.  Way more sex and violence than anything in the movies.  Also goes a long way in explaining how the younger generation always has to move the last generation away if they ever hope to run things.  Also makes me really glad to be a Christian.  People today talk about how the God of the Bible was so cruel...the Titans and Olympians have all that and the worst qualitiesof people as well.

    A Good Translation of  One of the Earliest Greek Poets
  

*by R***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2017*

It translates Hesiod. The oldest Greek poet. It is unclear who lived longer ago, he or Homer. I have to say that the poetry is well translated. It is understandable to an English speaking person. Of course, the job of translating is a matter of six of one and half a dozen of the other. However, I think the translator made good choices.  For the purposes of my research, I had no problem finding the context of well-known passages, like Hesiod's Ages of Man, or seeing the Hittite tale of Kumarbi in Hesiod's dissertation on the early gods. Thus, if you intend to research the early Greek religion or early Greek ways, I would buy this book.
