Work and days is a didactic poem of some 800 verses written by the
ancient Greek poet Hesiod around 700 BC. At its center, the Works
and Days is a farmer's almanac in which Hesiod instructs his
brother Perses in the agricultural arts. Scholars have seen this
work against a background of agrarian crisis in mainland Greece,
which inspired a wave of colonial expeditions in search of new
land. In the poem Hesiod also offers his brother extensive
moralizing advice on how he should live his life.
