HESIOD, a very ancient and justly celebrated Greek Poet, was pro- bably either a native of Cuma, in one of the Aolian Isles, or of “Ascra; in Beectia, and is thought to have been contemporary with Homer, or about bthirty years older. The only Pieces attributed to him are, the Works and Days, in which he celebrates agriculture, the. Theogony, or Generation of the Gods, and a Description of the Shield of Hercules, which last is rejected by some as not. being a produce-of his' muse.—-Or. rt Dies. Opera et Dies, Grecé.
