Hesíodo

800ac — 700ac · Cime

Hesiod was an ancient Greek poet, considered one of the earliest and most important poets in Greece, alongside Homer. His work is fundamental to understanding Greek mythology, cosmogony, and daily life in Archaic Greece. Born in Cyme, in Ancient Greece, Hesiod is primarily known for two works: "Theogony", which narrates the origin of the gods and the universe, and "Works and Days", a didactic poem offering advice on agriculture, morality, and justice.
