	Hesiod, the Homeric Hymns and Homerica: Works and Days
		She stirs up even the shiftless to toil; for a man grows eager to work when he considers his neighbour, a rich man who hastens to plough and plant and put his house in good order; and neighbour vies with is neighbour as he hurries after wealth.
		Work the work which the gods ordained for men, lest in bitter anguish of spirit you with your wife and children seek your livelihood amongst your neighbours, and they do not heed you.
		It is a good day on which to beget or to be born both for a male and a female: it is never an wholly evil day.

	ARRAS: little reviews: Bill Luoma, Works & Days
		Works & Days operates, then, as an outward spreading text that hopes to maintain engagement with as many people and memories as possible, and though it is centrifugal it has a focused sense of urgency.
		What Luoma, who works as a computer programmer, runs up against is the breakdown or inherent comedies of system -- in both the "world" and the "textual" sense -- a breakdown most pronounced in his scattered affections for baseball players of both minor and major league variety:
		Works & Days is like a map for a possible evisceration, via constant exchange of "spectacular things" among loved friends, of the alienation that capitalist culture and the need for individuation inflicts on our warm imperfect selves.

	Night and the creation of Pandora in Works and Days
		Works and Days gives extensive and detailed advice on how to regulate many different units of time, from the individual hour to whole seasons.
		But more fundamental for embedding Works and Days in Night, is, I suggest, the myth of Prometheus and Pandora.
		And the diseases that roam the earth at night are described as automatai (WD 103), as if they had stolen the epithet itself that used to belong to the bountiful earth (the aroura automatê of the golden age, WD 118).

	Hesiod's <i>Works and Days</i>
		He wrote three works-the Theogony, the Works and Days, the Catalog of Women (fragmentary), and possibly a poem called the Shield, which describes the shield of Hercules, and is clearly based on the description of the shield of Achilles from Iliad 18.
		The Catalog of Women, also called the the Ehoien ("or the woman who") which is a title taken from the frequently repeated introduction of a new woman with the words "or the woman who," builds on the end of the Theogony and attempts to do for heroes what the Theogony does for the gods.
		DAYS (382 to the end of the work) (the second half of the Works and Days, so-called because it has prescriptions for when to do certain tasks):

		In contrast, Works and Days is a compendium of moral and practical advice on husbandry, and throws unique and fascinating light on archaic Greek society.
		Taking the works in order, Wender presents Theogony, Works and Days and the elegiac poetry of Theognis in a clear and concise manner bringing both life and a sense of excitment to the text.
		Collected together, the work of Hesiod and Theognis can be viewed as having a common thread; the inconsistency of men and society and the need to trust in the gods.

	K3WWP's Keynote QRP Column # 35
		One of the hardest things about QRP is convincing other hams that it does work, even if you have only simple wire antennas and live in a relatively poor location.
		Statements like that make it seem that working someone with QRP is a freak occurrence that only happens when conditions are just right or perhaps when the station using QRP has a huge antenna system to greatly boost his ERP.
		I've just completed something that shows that QRP will work day in and day out, and can be used as a mainstream means of ham radio operation.

	Amazon.com: Theogony, Works and Days: Books: Hesiod,M. L. West (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Although the meter and basic style are those of the Homeric epics, and the gods are mainly the same, many details are different (Zeus is a younger son, not the eldest, for example), and the struggles between various generations are the foreground story, not a long-concluded background to the reign of Zeus.
		Winter is a time of suffering for the poor while the rewards in the form of rich harvests, during the season of Spring, the blessings of which come from Demeter and her father, Zeus.
		Because it is so bad, she argues, it could not have been written by the Hesiod who wrote the "Works and Days", because no poet who wrote good in one place could write so bad in another.

	The Greatest Literature of All Time - Works and Days
		But I said Works and Days is different, not necessarily better.
		But Hesiod's stories in Works and Days are simplistic morality tales, and after a while he drops the story part altogether and just spits out the messages one after the other.
		The conceit of Works and Days is that the narrator, a farmer it seems, is trying to school his indebted brother Perses on how to put his life right.

		Such works speak for themselves, and, as so often repeated in our work, the wicked are often caught in the very snares they set for others.
