E. Stallings.\nHesiod was the first self-styled 'poet' in western literature, revered by the ancient Greeks. Ostensibly written to chide and educate his lazy brother,\nWorks and Days\ntells the story of Pandora's jar and humanity's 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 man's 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kitabay Jaipur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45799966441695,"sku":"9780141197524_Kitabay Jaipur_52_E2","price":165.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0302\/6927\/6291\/files\/ce65a1fe50da11e610651b70c13bb9b3.jpg?v=1716441962","url":"https:\/\/kitabay.com\/products\/works-and-days-penguin-classics","provider":"Kitabay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
