Something wrong?He gave the Greek gods their family tree. Writing around 700 BC, Hesiod laid out who begat whom on Olympus and how Zeus seized the throne - then turned around and told farmers when to plant and why never to trust a woman with a jar.

About this person
Hesiod worked sometime between 750 and 650 BC, roughly contemporary with Homer, though where Homer sang of heroes, Hesiod took on gods and dirt. His Theogony traced the divine lineages from Chaos forward and chronicled Zeus's rise to power; Works and Days mixed practical advice for farmers with the five Ages of Man and the myth of Pandora's box. Ancient readers credited him and Homer with codifying Greek religion. Modern scholars mine him for mythology, early astronomy, cosmology, and economic thought. He was the first Greek poet in writing to step into his own work as a distinct voice with something at stake.
