I read the whole book in 2 days so it's a pretty speedy read and quite enjoyable if you're a fan of Greek Mythology, as I'm sure you are. This edition is particularly good as it offers good footnotes and explanations of things that we have long since forgotten about.

Book 170: Theogony and Works and Days
So, here we are again with me reviewing books that I haven't read in over a year. Hesiod's Theogony and Works and Days, which is conveniently located in one book, was a required reading for the class that I took on ancient political philosophy. Here, we looked a good governing styles as explified by Hesiod's description of the gods but outside of that I really don't remember much else about the book.
