Hesiod's Works and Days: Moral or Practical Teaching?
نویسنده
چکیده
Hesiod's Works and Days is undeniably a didactic poem. It is concerned with real problems of mankind. At a first glance it may seem as a practical guide to living and prospering in the Ancient Greek world. The title itself, along with the many parts of the poem that deal with practical issues can lead one to this conclusion. A more careful analysis, however, can show that Works and Days is more about morality. Undeniably it also deals with the practice of morality, but the main axis of the poem is not that; it is morality itself.
