The Oxford Handbook of Hesiod

This volume brings together 29 junior and senior scholars to discuss aspects of Hesiod's poetry and its milieu and to explore questions of reception over two and half millennia from the Greek archaic period shortly after the poems' conception to Twitter hashtags.

Zusatztext As one might expect from Oxford, the contributors are some of the finest scholars in the field. Apart from the essays themselves, the text includes a fine introduction by the editors, a standard index of names and subjects, and a robust 'Index Locorum Anitiquorum.' The result is an exemplary achievement, comprehensive and diverse, erudite enough to satisfy scholars yet readable enough to be accessible to ambitious nonspecialists-a companion that will find use among not only classicists but also those whose interests include comparative literature and poetry.
