Hesiodos Knihy
Hesiod, otec gréckej náučnej poézie, je považovaný za zakladateľa didaktického básnictva. Jeho diela, ako sú „Práca a dni“ a „Theogonia“, sú hlboko zakorenené v gréckej mytológii a každodennom živote. V „Práci a dňoch“ opisuje svoje skúsenosti z farmárskeho života, pretkáva ich bájami a osobnými príbehmi, čím vytvára akýsi kalendár boiótskeho pastiera. „Theogonia“ potom predstavuje ambiciózny pokus o systematizáciu starovekých mýtov o bohoch a ich pôvode, čím Hesiod zásadne ovplyvnil budúcu literatúru.
