Book Details
First Sentence
"Works and Day is a Greek poem of 828 hexameter verses that was composed in the early seventh century B.C.E. by a man named Hesiod who had a special interest in matters pertaining to agriculture: when to plant what, how to manage labor resources, and above all how to achieve productive independence (autarky) and thus to avoid hunger."
