Hesiod Bücher

Die älteste Quelle der griechischen Literatur – in der grandiosen Neuübersetzung von Raoul Schrott Hesiod erzählt in seiner ›Theogonie‹, in der uns Prometheus ebenso begegnet wie Zeus bei seiner Machtergreifung am Olymp, von der Entstehung der Welt und den Kämpfen und Liebschaften der Götter. Raoul Schrotts Übertragung klingt überraschend modern und ist erfrischend zugänglich. Ein fundierter, umfangreicher Essay schließt den Band ab.

Though attributed to Hesiod (eighth or seventh century BC) in antiquity, the Catalogue of Women, a presentation of legendary Greek heroes and episodes according to maternal genealogy; The Shield, a counterpoint to the Iliadic shield of Achilles; and certain poems that survive as fragments were likely not composed by Hesiod himself.

Contains The Shield and extant fragments of other poems, including the Catalogue of Women, that were attributed to Hesiod in antiquity. This book states that none of these is thought to be by Hesiod himself, but all have considerable literary and historical interest. It concludes with a comprehensive index to the complete edition.
