Theogony, Works and Days and Shield of Hercules: Greek, Latin and English

Hesiod's Theogonia, Erga kai Hemerai and Pseudo-Hesiod's Aspis in a triple interlinear format, with the original Greek, a literal Latin, and a literal English translation. The Theogony sets out Hesiod's catalogue of the Greek gods, giving their descent from the great primeval forces. Included are the stories of the War with the Titans, and Pandora. The Works and Days discusses the failings of the non-productive, and the path of hard work which leads to wealth. The last part is an early agricultural calendar. The final work was written by a later author as a supposed addition to Hesiod's Catalogue of Women, and relates the fight between Heracles and a son of Ares, with a lengthly description of the wondrous shield Heracles carries with him.

Written around 700 BC, the first two works represent some of the earliest Greek literature, preceded only by Homer's Iliad and Odyssey.
