Overview

The volume consists of six papers that propose new approaches to the study of fragmentary Hesiodic epic. They explore interpretive questions referring not only to the better-studied Catalogue of Women and the Aspis, but also to rather neglected epics such as the Megalai Ehoiai, the Melampodia, and the Marriage of Ceyx. In addition, a fair number of the papers included in this volume question the order of the Hesiodic fragments adopted in the edition of R. Merkelbach and M. L. West.
