Specificatii
-Besides Homer, there is Hesiod.- These words still contain much
truth today. Hesiod is a very important poet, and for this reason
his two surviving poems, Theogony and Works and Days, deserve to be
presented as accurately and attractively as possible. R. M. Frazer
has done this: His new translations are faithful to the matter and
spirit of the originals, and his commentary makes the poems
understandable and enjoyable. Hesiod is the first Greek and,
therefore, the first European we can know as a real person, for,
unlike Homer, he tells us about himself in his poems. Hesiod seems
to have been a successful farmer and a rather gloomy though not
humorless man. One suspects from his concern for the bachelor's lot
and some rather unflattering remarks about women that he was never
married. A close study of both poems reveals the same personality
-that of a deeply religious man concerned with the problems of
justice and fate. The Theogony represents the first codification of
the Greek pantheon. Hesiod, of course, did not invent the gods, but
he gave the Greeks a clear picture of their forms, functions, and
relationships. Thus, the poem deals with the high epic theme of the
creation of the divine order of the world under the direction of
Zeus. Works and Days, by contrast, considers justice and work in
the context of Hesiod's own life. The difference in subject matter
produces a difference in style: Theogony is strongly influenced by
the epic conventions; Works and Days is more modern and
freewheeling. To get a fuller picture of Hesiod and his poems, we
must try to understand him in relation to his times. The eighth
century, when Hesiod lived, was the time of the great Greek
awakening after the period of relative darkness ushered in by the
fall of the old Mycenaean kingdoms around 1125 B.C. Hesiod thus
lived at the beginning of the Greek classical period, and his poems
influenced not only that age but also Western culture in our day.
