Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, XII, 202 p. Original hardcover with dust jacket. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Slightly rubbed jacket, otherwise very good and clean. / Leicht beriebener Schutzumschlag, sonst sehr gut und sauber. - Hesiod?s Cosmos offers a comprehensive interpretation of both the Theogony and the Works and Days and demonstrates how the two Hesiodic poems must be read together as two halves of an integrated whole embracing both the divine and the human cosmos. After first offering a survey of the structure of both poems, Professor Clay reveals their mutually illuminating unity by offering detailed analyses of their respective proems, their teachings on the origins of the human race, and the two versions of the Prometheus myth. She then examines the role of human beings in the Theogony and the role of the gods in the Works and Days, as well as the position of the hybrid figures of monsters and heroes within the Hesiodic cosmos and in relation to the Hesiodic Catalogue of Women. - Jenny Strauss Clay is Professor of Classics at the University of Virginia. She has held Fellowships and research grants from the Center for Hellenic Studies, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the DAAD, the American Academy in Rome, and the American School of Classical Studies in Athens. She has also lectured extensively throughout the United States and Europe. Her research interests focus mainly on archaic Creek poetry, on which she has written extensively, including two books: The Wrath of Athena: Gods and Men in Homer?s Odyssey (Princeton 1983) and The Politics of Olympus: Form and Meaning in the Major Homeric Hymns (Princeton 1989). In addition, she has published over forty articles on Greek and Roman poetry. ISBN 9780521823920Klassische Philologie 2003, [PU: Cambridge University Press]<
