Strong parallels can be identified between it and various myths and texts from the ancient Near East. Moreover, it was highly influential on subsequent Greek and Latin literature and philosophy. This, the first modern commentary in over half a century, includes all the necessary linguistic, textual, metrical, and literary material that will allow students to understand and enjoy the Theogony and its place in the literary tradition. It is intended primarily for advanced undergraduates and graduate students but will also be considered valuable by scholars of Greek literature and thought.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of figures\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e Note on abbreviations and editions\u003cbr\u003e Ἡσιόδου Θεογονία\u003cbr\u003e Commentary\u003cbr\u003e Works cited\u003cbr\u003e Genealogical charts\u003cbr\u003e Indices.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Classical history \/ classical civilisation [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Classical history \/ classical civilisation\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Classical%20history%20\/%20classical%20civilisation%20%5BHBLA1%5D%22\"\u003eHBLA1\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52415680512280,"sku":"9781107097384","price":76.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781107097384i.jpg?v=1784422825","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/hesiod-theogony-hardback-9781107097384","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
