Focusing on key ancient responses to the five-part narrative of human history in Hesiod's Works and Days, this book argues that critical disciplines from philosophy to satire defined themselves in part through questions about 'Hesiodic' teaching. It will be of interest to scholars of ancient literature and the development of intellectual traditions.
