La composición de los poemas hesiódicos

Abstract

[EN] Hesiod organised his poems, specially Theogony and Works and Days, on the basis of preexistent genres: lyrics, cosmogonies and theogonies, genealogies, “instructions” and calendaries. His originality was to create extensive poems introduced by proemia and consisting in a series of blocks. These blocks present a ternary structure (a - b - c) and are interconnected by associations. There are also excursus and additions.
