Note:This volume brings together twenty-nine junior and senior scholars to discuss aspects of Hesiod's poetry and its milieu and to explore questions of reception over two and half millennia, from shortly after the poems' conception to Twitter hashtags. Rather than an exhaustive survey of Hesiodic themes, the Handbook is conceived as a guide through terrain, some familiar, other less charted, examining both Hesiodic craft and later engagements with Hesiod's stories of the gods and moralizing proscriptions of just human behavior. The volume is divided into four sections: "Hesiod in Context," "Hesiod's Art," "Hesiod in the Greco-Roman Period," and "Hesiod from Byzantium to Modern Times."
