'This is a very welcome publication, an authoritative translation
of a major greek author at a reasonable price. Essential reading
for classicists'
J. G. Hourie, Dept. of Classics, University of Edinburgh
' Readers who have no previous knowledge of Hesoid will find this
an extremely accessible book, written in such a way that the
non-specialist will be able to read, follow and enjoy these works.
This is in part due to Professor West's excellent translations and
partly due to his real and profound interest in his subject, which
is further reflectd by a most informative and useful
introduction.'
The Greek Rreview
'So much better than the corresponding Penguin translation of
Hesiod. The introduction is splendid.'
P. Walcot, University College, Cardiff.
'The edition is admirably produced, mercifully free from misprints
... an edition with a stimulating Introduction, a very readable
translation'
JACT Review
'West ... has now produced fine translations of these poems into
fresh, lively and eminently readable English. It must quickly
establish itself as the translation for English-speaking
readers.'
Jennifer R. March, University College, London. Classical Review
