- This is an important new reading of a canonical ancient Greek text. It tackles complex problems of interpretation and presents a coherent account of a poem that has puzzled critics since antiquity. This book is the result of an in-depth study of a corpus of epic works, as well as multilingual bibliography spanning centuries. Exploring key issues such as gender, genre, persona and performance, the book places this important poem in context, revealing how it draws on and contributes to a tradition of usefulness. It constitutes a timely bridge between studies on Hesiodic reception and commentaries on the Hesiodic texts.
