Hesiod, the Homeric Hymns and Homerica/The Great Works

by Hesiod

 

THE GREAT WORKS

1.

The verse, however (the saying of Rhadamanthys), is in Hesiod in the Great Works and is as follows: "If a man sow evil, he shall reap evil increase; if men do to him as he has done, it will be true justice."

2.

Some believe that the Silver Race (is to be attributed to) the earth, declaring that in the Great Works Hesiod makes silver to be of the family of Earth.
