"The Oxford Handbook of Hesiod is a fantastic volume, with chapters all written by accomplished international scholars; a volume that bespeaks the wide range of Hesiodic scholarship and reception from antiquity to today. Consequently, it is an indispensable work of reference relevant to anyone who is interested in Hesiod. Besides, it should also be part of every Homerist's library." -- Silvio Bär, University of Oslo , Classical Journal-Online

"This is a landmark publication, unprecedented in scope and ambition: the editors and contributors are to be congratulated for achieving such comprehensive coverage of the Theogony and Works and Days throughout the ages and across a wide range of genres." -- Gary Vos, Classics for All

"...an exemplarary achievement, comprehensive and diverse, erudite enough to satisfy scholars yet readable enough to be accessibleo ambitious nonspecialists--a companion that will find use mong not only classicists but also those whose interests include comparative literature and poetry." -- F.A. Grabowski, CHOICE

"As one might expect from Oxford, the contributors are some of the finest scholars in the field. Apart from the essays themselves, the text includes a fine introduction by the editors, a standard index of names and subjects, and a robust 'Index Locorum Anitiquorum.' The result is an exemplary achievement, comprehensive and diverse, erudite enough to satisfy scholars yet readable enough to be accessible to ambitious nonspecialists-a companion that will find use among not only classicists but also those whose interests include comparative literature and poetry. Essential." -- CHOICE
