Hesiod describes himself as a Boeotian shepherd who heard the Muses call upon him to sing about the gods. His exact dates are unknown, but he has often been considered a younger contemporary of Homer.
Hesiod describes himself as a Boeotian shepherd who heard the Muses call upon him to sing about the gods. His exact dates are unknown, but he has often been considered a younger contemporary of Homer. This volume of the new Loeb Classical Library edition offers a general introduction, a fluid translation facing an improved Greek text of Hesiod's two extant poems, and a generous selection of testimonia from a wide variety of ancient sources regarding Hesiod's life, works, and reception.
In Theogony Hesiod charts the history of the divine world, narrating the origin of the universe and the rise of the gods, from first beginnings to the triumph of Zeus, and reporting on the progeny of Zeus and of goddesses in union with mortal men. In Works and Days Hesiod shifts his attention to the world of men, delivering moral precepts and practical advice regarding agriculture, navigation, and many other matters; along the way he gives us the myths of Pandora and of the Golden, Silver, and other Races of Men.

大概古人寫的書都會給人這種感覺----純淨到讓人發笑。非常質樸的語言,非常簡單的真理,《工作與時日》和《吉爾伽美什》就會給人這種感覺。 而且很驚奇但也在意料之內的是,不管時代怎麼變化,物質生活怎麼發達,許多處世、生活的真理是不變的。《工作與時日》裏說的話...

評分初看裝幀和排版設計,感覺都不錯,尤其譯者序,誠意簡直滿滿地溢齣來。 看正文前半部分,翻譯也還可以,唯一讓人閱讀感受阻的是頻繁地堆疊定語,導緻部分句子句意晦澀,讀來拗口。 但看著看著,錯誤就來瞭。 我對希臘神話的瞭解甚為膚淺,全書看下來挑齣瞭三個明顯的錯誤,在...
評分赫西俄德是“一個”人,在學術界似乎並無太多爭議,而爭議卻齣在他的兩部作品上。比如有許多學者對《工作與時日》和《神譜》是否皆齣於赫西俄德之筆錶示懷疑,而中譯本的譯者張竹明先生則以決絕的態度斷定《神譜》並非赫西俄德所寫,作者另有其人。又如《工作與時日》的鬆散結...

我讀得超級爛
評分這本書太寶藏瞭…好嗨哦。
評分Theogony finished. Better read secondary sources first to get a sense of the complicated genealogy of Greek gods. I focused on the 'Chasm-Sky-Cronus-Zeus' line.
評分Textbook for a Greek reading class. After taking the class, I realize I'm more of a prose girl than a poetry one. Glad to know how to find the meters. In addition to that, glad to know that the Greek text writes about Pandora's jar, not a box--apparently, the century bears a translation mistake.
評分Classical mythology class reading但是真的很難受因為生詞和神的名字導緻閱讀速度很慢,很難直接感受到那種美。看完後找瞭中文版發現自己忽略瞭許多隱喻。
