Hesiod's Works and Days was often performed in its entirety, but was also relentlessly excerpted, quoted, and reapplied. This volume situates the poem within these two modes of reading and argues that the text itself sustains both treatments, advocating not blind adherence to Hesiod's teachings but thinking for oneself and working for one's lesson.
