Review
There are at present four other principal translations of these poems available . . . and this one compares well with them. It is livlier, more viaried in tone and style, and more colloquial. . . . Robert Lamberton's introduction is an excellent, concise exposition of current scholarly debate: his notes are informative and helpful. . . . Those who want a translation that captures something of the spirit of an ancient Greek poetic voice and its cultural milieu and transmits it in an appealing, lively, and accessable style will now turn to Lombardo. --M. A. Katz, Wesleyan University in CHOICE
Product Description
'This is by far the best rendering of Hesiod's poems in print. The translation is fully accurate but so readable one doesn't want to stop; it exactly captures Hesiod's rustic wisdom, his humour and his cautious pessimism...Clear brief notes and a glossary make this a must for introductory courses: students will love it' - Richard Janko, University College, London.

評分Works and Days前半部分還蠻有意思的,到瞭後麵開始嘰嘰咕咕說教
評分翻譯的真好 幾處和此時此景相應 哎greedy is evil. work is better than luck.雖然很雞湯但放鬆下挺好
評分小布爾喬亞真是三韆年如一日地狗改不瞭吃屎【滑稽】
