An odd read.

The Theogony is a little bit more than a sequence of name-droppings in the first half and some also in the second half, if we're being honest. It could have used some more breaks to dwell into the myths it was usually referring to, but who am I to criticize a thousands of years old poem?

I happened to enjoy Works and Days a bit more, which came as a surprise to me, as it seemed like the "boring" one. The first half and it's allusions to the Myth of the Five Ages and the Myth of Pandora were great, even better than the one to Prometheus in the Theogony. The second half is a collection of life hacks Hesiod is willing to give to his brother (?) on how to handle his lands better... okay.

Anyway, I don't regret reading it.
