Historical Figure

Hesiod (c. 8th century BCE), an epic poet from Ascra, Boeotia, is known for his *Theogony* and *Works and Days*. His writings established a standard Hellenic cosmogony and theogony, and include ethical advice and religious norms. He engaged in a notable family dispute and legal battle with his brother Perses over inheritance rights, and was later accused of murder, though exonerated.
