Specificatii
Winner of the 2005 Harold Morton Landon Translation Award from the
Academy of American Poets. In Works of Hesiod and the Homeric
Hymns, highly acclaimed poet and translator Daryl Hine brings to
life the words of Hesiod and the world of Archaic Greece. While
most available versions of these early Greek writings are rendered
in prose, Hine's illuminating translations represent these early
classics as they originally appeared, in verse. Since prose was not
invented as a literary medium until well after Hesiod's time,
presenting these works as poems more closely approximates not only
the mechanics but also the melody of the originals. This volume
includes Hesiod's Works and Days and Theogony, two of the oldest
non-Homeric poems to survive from antiquity. Works and Days is in
part a farmer's almanac-filled with cautionary tales and advice for
managing harvests and maintaining a good work ethic-and Theogony is
the earliest comprehensive account of classical mythology-including
the names and genealogies of the gods (and giants and monsters) of
Olympus, the sea, and the underworld. Hine brings out Hesiod's
unmistakable personality; Hesiod's tales of his escapades and his
gritty and persuasive voice not only give us a sense of the
author's own character but also offer up a rare glimpse of the
everyday life of ordinary people in the eighth century BCE. In
contrast, the Homeric Hymns are more distant in that they depict
aristocratic life in a polished tone that reveals nothing of the
narrators' personalities. These hymns (so named because they
address the deities in short invocations at the beginning and end
of each) are some of the earliest examples of epyllia, or short
stories in the epic manner in Greek. This volume unites Hine's
skillful translations of the Works of Hesiod and the Homeric
Hymns-along with Hine's rendering of the mock-Homeric epic The
Battle of the Frogs and the Mice-in a stunning pairing of these
masterful classics.
