These hymns (so named because they address the deities in short invocations at the beginning and end of each) are among the earliest examples of Greek epyllia, or short stories in the epic manner.Addeddate 03:56:59 Associated-names Homer. In contrast, the "Homeric Hymns" depict aristocratic life in voices whose polished tones reveal little of the narrators' personalities. Hine captures Hesiod's gritty and persuasive voice, which provides a rare glimpse into the everyday life of ordinary people in the eighth century BCE. "Theogony" is the earliest comprehensive account of classical mythology - including the names and genealogies of the gods and monsters of Olympus, the sea, and the underworld. It cannot be definitely assigned either to the Ionian or Continental schools, for while the romantic element is very strong, there is a distinct genealogical. "Works and Days" is filled with cautionary tales and advice for managing harvests and maintaining a good work ethic. The collection of thirty-three Hymns, ascribed to Homer, is the last considerable work of the Epic School, and seems, on the whole, to be later than the Cyclic poems. This volume includes Hesiod's "Works and Days" and "Theogony", two of the oldest non-Homeric poems to survive. Unlike most available prose renderings of their works, Hine's illuminating translations present these classics as they originally appeared, in verse.
In "Works of Hesiod and the Homeric Hymns", highly acclaimed poet and translator Daryl Hine brings new life to the words of Hesiod and the world of Archaic Greece.
