- Hesiod (Hēsíodos, 'he who emits the voice') was an ancient Greek poet generally thought to have been active between 750 and 650 BC, around the same time as Homer. [1] [2] He is generally regarded as the first written poet in the Western tradition to regard himself as an individual persona with an active role to play in his subject. [3] Ancient authors credited Hesiod and Homer with establishing Greek religious customs. [4] Modern scholars refer to him as a major source on Greek mythology, farming techniques, early economic thought, [5] archaic Greek astronomy and ancient time-keeping.
