Features: Hesiod is one of the most important mythological poets of ancient Greece. If Homer's epics provided a mirror of historical legends for Greek civilization, then Hesiod's works—Theogony, Works and Days, and the possibly Hesiodic Shield of Heracles—are the historical cornerstones of Greek civilization, thus becoming the foundation of the entire Western civilization.
