Wisdom of Hesiod
Hesiod (circa 1200 BC), was an ancient Greek poet whose works are among the earliest surviving examples of Greek literature. He is best known for two major poems: Works and Days, offering practical advice on farming and morality, and Theogony, a cosmological epic detailing the origins of the gods and the universe. Hesiod’s writings reflect a conce for justice, order, and the human condition. Below we list some words of wisdom from Hesiod. “Do not seek evil gains; evil gains are the equivalent of disaster.”
