OverviewWhat is the role of Hesiod’s poetry in the beginnings of Greek philosophy? This book explores the question by going beyond the traditional responses that stress either continuities or discontinuities between myth and philosophy. Instead, this volume attempts a reflexive or response-oriented approach, that highlights the active re-appropriation and renewal of Hesiodic thought by the Presocratic philosophers. Its fifteen contributions offer large scale comparisons, historiographical considerations, thematic and generic approaches, and detailed case studies.

(...) the volume is coherent not only in its overall topic but in aspects of its approach to the question of how we should locate Hesiod in relation to the Presocratics. It moves away from the traditional formulation of a transition from mythos to logos and from the relatively crude question of whether we should emphasize that Hesiod composed mythical genealogies and so belongs to a pre-rational strain of thought or instead that he creates a totalizing system that anticipates later efforts to comprehend the whole of nature. Instead, it tries both to rethink the questions and to examine particular ways that later thinkers engaged with Hesiod.(...) Iribarren and Koning’s unusually thoughtful and helpful introduction summarizes the modern history of scholarship on Hesiod and the Presocratics. It contextualizes the fifteen papers that follow, providing a richer and more useful account of how this volume functions in relation to earlier discussions than this review possibly can.""
