The Poems of Hesiod - Hesiod - Bog

"Barry Powell, known for his powerful translations of Homer, now brings to life the epics of Hesiod, the second giant of early Greek literature. Powell's accurate but sparkling English renditions make this book the ideal place to begin reading Hesiod's timeless classics."--Ian Morris, Professor of Classics and Professor of History at Stanford University "Powell's translation is fresh, rich, and nuanced but never arcane or difficult to follow. Perfect for undergraduate students and anyone who loves Greek epic poetry."--Carolina Lopez-Ruiz, Associate Professor of Classics at The Ohio State University "An exciting and most welcome new translation, enriched with illuminating introductions, well-drawn maps, a substantial body of notes, a glossary, indices, explanatory charts, and numerous colorful illustrations."--Silvia Montiglio, Professor of Classics at Johns Hopkins University
