About the Author

Hesiod is believed to have lived in the eighth century B.C. Works and Days and Theogony are ascribed to him, though it isn't certain that the same poet wrote both. He is the first poet in Western literatuare to have written about himself, in this respect distinct from Homer.

Kimberly Johnson is associate professor in the Department of English at Brigham Young University.

Reviews

Wonderfully sensitive to the musicality and order of Hesiod’s Theogony and Works and Days, Kimberly Johnson’s deft translation restores attention to the complex poetic dimensions of these texts. With lyrical precision, Johnson illuminates the vast range of form and figure Hesiod employs to evoke the genealogy of gods and the labor of quotidian agricultural life. At the same time, this translation vividly captures the humor, restlessness, and forceful assertion that distinguishes Hesiod’s oeuvre. Johnson’s translation should be an essential text not only for readers of classical poetry, but for those interested in the long history of environmental literature."" - Margaret Ronda, author of Personification
