Labor and Time: Notes (Western Tradition: Classics and Interpretations)
About This Novel
"Labour and Time" is a long poem by the ancient Greek poet Hesiod, with a total of 828 lines. "Work and Time" talks about work and time, but it talks most about justice. Hesiod was a master storyteller, and he told a series of righteous stories in his poems. The story of Dicke, the goddess of justice, the story of Prometheus and Pandora, the myth of the human race, the story of the kite and the warbler, the story of the God of Discord and the God of Rumor, as well as the past events of his father and the family property dispute between him and his younger brother. Meditations on justice weave in and out of all these narratives. "Labour and Days" is defined as a didactic poem in which he spoke publicly in front of the whole nation to advise his brothers. The problem he needs to solve is not only the lost youth, but also the corruption of the city-state. The difficulties Hesiod encountered in the 8th century BC are ultimately the eternal dilemmas faced by lovers of wisdom in all ages. This book is an annotated version of "Labor and Time". The whole book is divided into three parts: translation, annotations and explanatory notes.
