Overview

Excerpt from Notes on the Works and Days of Hesiod: With Introduction and Appendix, a Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Literature in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Department of Greek Th. 22-3 seems to be a reference to Hesiod as the great poet of Helicon by the later author of the Theogony. See Croiset, Lit. Gr. I 450 and 512. Evelyn White renders: And one day they taught Hesiod glorious song while he was shepherding his lambs under holy Helicon, and this word first the goddesses said to me: Nowhere in the Works and Days does the author show any particular interest in a shepherd's life or acquaintance with it. The second passage has been so severely criticized in ancient 'and modern times (see note 4 infra) that it seems rash to base a conclusion on it.
