THE HESIODIC CATALOGUE OF WOMEN Its Nature Structure and Origins
Oxford Clarendon Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1985. First Edition. Hardcover. 0198140347 . Dustjacket has very minor shelfwear and rubbing. ; The Catalogue of Women is an Ancient Greek poem. Ancient writers sometimes attributed it to Hesiod although the poem contains a few references to events and things after Hesiod's time that could suggest that they were later added or that the epic is of a completely different author. Since Hesiod is known to us only as the author of the Works and Days and the Theogony which may not have the same date or author the distinction here is unclear. Since the dating of the poem is one of the most problematic issues surrounding it the poem's author remains anonymous. ; 193 pages . Oxford Clarendon Press hardcover

West, M. L. (editor) ; Hesiod
HESIOD: WORKS AND DAYS Edited with Prolegomena and Commentary
Very light shelfwear to book and DJ; 1996 Sandpiper reprint of 1978 Edition. ; 399 pages; Hesiod was an ancient Greek poet whose Works and Days discusses agricultural practices and society in general. Classicists and ancient historians have turned to Works and Days for its insights on Greek mythology and religion. The poem also sheds light on economic history and ancient agriculture, and is a good resource for social scientists interested in these areas. This translation emphasizes the activities and problems of a practicing agriculturist as well as the larger, changing political and economic institutions of the early archaic period. The authors provide a clear, accurate translation along with notes aimed at a broad audience. The introductory essay discusses the changing economic, political and trading world of the eighth and seventh centuries B. C. E. , while the notes present the range and possible meanings of important Greek terms and references in the poem and highlight areas of ambiguity in our understanding of Works and Days.
