What is the role of Hesiod's poetry in the beginnings of Greek philosophy? This book explores the question by going beyond the traditional responses that stress either continuities or discontinuities between myth and philosophy. Instead, this volume attempts a reflexive or response-oriented approach, that highlights the active re-appropriation and renewal of Hesiodic thought by the Presocratic philosophers. Its fifteen contributions offer large scale comparisons, historiographical considerations, thematic and generic approaches, and detailed case studies.

Leopoldo Iribarren, Ph.D (2009), EHESS, is Associate Professor at the Ecole des hautes études en sciences sociales (Paris). He has published monographs, translations and articles on early Greek thought and modern philosophy. His most recent book is Fabriquer le monde: technique et cosmogonie dans la poésie grecque archaïque (Classiques Garnier, 2018).
Hugo Koning, Ph.D. (2010), Leiden University, is a teacher of Greek at Leiden University. He publishes on Hesiod, reception studies and mythology. He is the author of Hesiod: The Other Poet. Ancient Reception of a Cultural Icon (Brill, 2010).
