NAME: HESIOD

Hesiod, Greek Hesiodos, Latin Hesiodus, (flourished c. 700 BC), one of the earliest Greek poets, often called the “father of Greek didactic poetry.” Two of his complete epics have survived, the Theogony, relating the myths of the gods, and the Works and Days, describing peasant life.

CONTRIBUTIONS:

One of the earliest Greek epic poets, Hesiod, through his works, serves as a useful corrective to Homer’s more glamorous portrayal of the world. Hesiod has an essentially serious outlook on life and is an artist who deals with the gloomier side of existence, relating, in his Theogony, the power struggle among the divine dynasts Uranus, Cronus, and Zeus, while his Works and Days demonstrates that, in Hesiod’s immediate circle at any rate, mankind’s situation on earth was equally deplorable during what he calls the “age of iron.”
