This new, annotated translation of Hesiod's "Works and Days" is a
collaboration between David W. Tandy, a classicist, and Walter
Neale, an economist and economic historian. Hesiod was an ancient
Greek poet whose "Works and Days" discusses agricultural practices
and society in general. Classicists and ancient historians have
turned to "Works and Days" for its insights on Greek mythology and
religion. The poem also sheds light on economic history and ancient
agriculture, and is a good resource for social scientists
interested in these areas. This translation emphasizes the
activities and problems of a practicing agriculturist as well as
the larger, changing political and economic institutions of the
early archaic period.
The authors provide a clear, accurate translation along with notes
aimed at a broad audience. The introductory essay discusses the
changing economic, political and trading world of the eighth and
seventh centuries B.C.E., while the notes present the range and
possible meanings of important Greek terms and references in the
poem and highlight areas of ambiguity in our understanding of
"Works and Days,"
