Herodotus Quotes


A Greek oral poet generally thought by scholars to have been active between 750 and 650 BC.
Hesiod was a Greek oral poet generally thought by scholars to have been active between 750 and 650 BC. Since at least Herodotus's time (Histories, 2.53), Hesiod and Homer have generally been considered the earliest Greek poets whose work has survived, and they are often paired. Scholars disagree about who lived first, and the fourth-century BC sophist Alcidamas' Mouseion even brought them together in an imagined poetic agon, the Contest of Homer and Hesiod.

Here are some famous quotes by Hesiod. 

The Gods rank work above virtues.

[MysteRy]

Whoever has trusted a woman has trusted deceivers.

[MysteRy]

If you only keep adding little by little it will soon become a big heap.

[MysteRy]

No gossip ever dies away entirely if many people voice it: it too is a kind of divinity.
