Hesiod's Ascra Anthony T. Edwards
Hesiod's Ascra
Anthony T. Edwards
In "Works and Days", the poet writes of farming, morality, and what seems to be a very nasty quarrel with his brother Perses over their inheritance. This book extracts from the poem a picture of the social structure of Ascra, the hamlet in northern Greece where Hesiod lived, most likely during the seventh century bce.
