Hesiod describes himself as a Boeotian shepherd who heard the Muses call him to sing about the gods. His exact dates are unknown, but he has often been considered a younger contemporary of Homer. This work offers a general introduction, and a selection of testimonia from a variety of ancient sources regarding Hesiod's life, works, and reception.
