Author Description Hesiod (Greek:<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/6937249.________" title=" Ησίοδος" rel="nofollow noopener"> Ησίοδος</a>) was an ancient Greek poet generally thought to have been active between 750 and 650 BC, around the same time as <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/903._Homer" title=" Homer" rel="nofollow noopener"> Homer</a>.<br />Several of Hesiod's works have survived in their entirety. Among these are Theogony, which tells the origins of the gods, their lineages, and the events that led to Zeus's rise to power, and Works and Days, a poem that describes the five Ages of Man, offers advice and wisdom, and includes myths such as Pandora's box.<br />Hesiod is generally regarded by Western authors as 'the first written poet in the Western tradition to regard himself as an individual persona with an active role to play in his subject.' Ancient authors credited Hesiod and Homer with establishing Greek religious customs. Modern scholars refer to him as a major source on Greek mythology, farming techniques, early economic thought, Archaic Greek astronomy, cosmology, and ancient time-keeping.
