Description
A great starting point to the world of Greek classics. This two for one book includes the text of Theogony and Works and Days. Students may find it helpful to read this short text before opening the Iliad or the Odyssey. Hesiod was writing at the same time as Homer and his Theogony provides the creation story from the Greek gods understanding. Learning about the pagan god’s origins, who they are, and how they are related, sets the stage for further classics study. The Works and Days text is an account of man, and the way man should live and how to live in the world the gods’ created. Parents read through this short text and judge for yourself whether your student is ready for a text like this. This is used in Classical Conversations Challenge IV. 79 pgs, pb. ~Rebecca
