-------------------

"Hesiod's Poems Which Are Brought to the Faith of the Best Codex" is a book that examines the ancient Greek poet Hesiod's works. It specifically focuses on the best available version of Hesiod's poems, known as the Codex Venetus, and reviews its accuracy and reliability. The author, Jannes Flach, uses a critical approach to analyze and interpret Hesiod's poetry, providing insights into the poet's themes, style, and worldview.

Hesiod's Poems refer to the collection of works by the ancient Greek poet Hesiod. This includes two major poems, "Works and Days" and "Theogony," which are widely regarded as foundational works in Greek literature and mythology. "Works and Days" provides advice on farming, moral and ethical behavior, and general wisdom, while "Theogony" describes the origins and genealogy of the Greek gods and goddesses.
