Description

The figure of Hesiod and his poetry exercised a tremendous influence on Hellenistic writers. As scholarly topic, mythical figure, and source of poetic and artistic inspiration, his impact over this later era is wide-ranging. Hellenistic writers inherited a literary tradition in which Hesiod was one of Greece's earliest poets, and their literature's first authorial voice. Although Hesiod's poems were short compared with Homer's epics, there were a large number of them: in the Hellenistic opinion, they might have totaled as many as fifteen. Hellenistic writers were also aware of a rich biographical tradition about the poet himself. He had included details about his life in his poetry, and there were stories which grew up later about poetic competitions, his death, and a second, rejuvenated life. From the beginning, Hesiod's poems were always read and his reputation as one of Greece's greatest poets was secure. The fame of Hesiod began early, and his status, only increased in the Hellenistic period.
