This volume gathers some of the earliest surviving Greek poetry outside Homer: Hesiod’s Theogony (the genealogy of the gods) and Works and Days (practical wisdom in verse), together with the Homeric Hymns — a collection of thirty-three hymns to individual deities — and various other early epic fragments collectively called the Homerica.

Translated by H. G. Evelyn-White in the Loeb tradition, these texts offer an indispensable window into ancient Greek religious and poetic thought. This free EPUB is cleanly formatted for comfortable reading.
