- This monograph explores early Greek reflections on language by focusing on Hesiod’s use of etymology and related phenomena in the Theogony and the Works and Days. Through sustained engagement with these key texts and an extensive range of modern scholarship, it argues that Hesiod is a philosophical poet who reflects actively on the extent to which language can represent reality. As such, it makes an innovative and important contribution to the study of early Greek epistemology.
