Autor

Hesiod, an ancient Greek poet who likely lived around the 8th century BCE, is considered one of the earliest authors in Western literary tradition. He is most renowned for his works Theogony and Works and Days, which blend mythology and practical wisdom. Unlike Homer, who focused on epic narratives, Hesiod introduced themes of morality, labor, and justice, reflecting a more personal and instructional tone in his writing.Born in Boeotia, Hesiod's life is shrouded in mystery, with much of his biography drawn from his own verses. He describes himself as a farmer and shepherd, offering vivid depictions of rural life in ancient Greece. His writings suggest a deep connection to the natural world and a concern for divine justice, which shaped his poetic focus on the relationships between gods and mortals.Hesiod's influence extended far beyond his era, laying the groundwork for Greek cosmology and ethical thought. His genealogical catalog of the gods in Theogony became a cornerstone for classical mythology. Meanwhile, Works and Days provided timeless insights into human struggles, emphasizing the importance of hard work and moral integrity, themes that resonate across centuries.
