M.L. West, who has contributed much to the study of Hesiod's text,
now adds a thorough study of this poem's complete fragments. West
examines the literary evidence in conjunction with such broader
issues as the nature of mythological geneaology and the emergence
of Panhellenic consistency in myth. His detailed analysis of the
fragments leads to the conclusion that the poem received final form
in the sixth century at Athens....The author argues with skill and
clarity.
