Hesiod
Hesiod was an ancient Greek poet of the late 8th or early 7th century BCE. He is one of the earliest Greek poets (around the same time as Homer) whose work has survived in its entirety, providing insights into the agricultural practices, religious beliefs, and moral values of ancient Greece.
PeopleHesiod
In Works and Days, Hesiod insists that justice depends on honest labor, fair dealing, and restraint rather than brute power or noble birth. By warning that injustice corrodes communities from within, he helped frame freedom as a moral order sustained by law, work, and accountability in everyday life. Man must worship Justice above all other virtues.
