WORKS AND DAYS
Stallingss new translation of Hesiods Works and Days - witty, gritty, and unsettlingly relevant - is not to be missed TLS, Books of the YearSHORTLISTED FOR THE 2019 RUNICMAN AWARDA new verse translation of one of the foundational ancient Greek works by the award-winning poet A. E. Stallings. Hesiod was the first self-styled poet in western literature, revered by the ancient Greeks. Ostensibly written to chide and educate his lazy brother, Works and Days tells the story of Pandoras jar and humanitys place in a fallen world. Blending the cosmic and the earthy, and mixing myth, lyrical description, personal asides, astronomy, proverbs and down-to-earth advice on rural tasks and rituals, it is also a hymn to honest toil as mans salvation. This vibrant new verse translation by award-winning poet A. E. Stallings conveys the clarity and unexpected humour of a founding work of classical literature.
