Hesiod (/ˈhiːsiəd/ HEE-see-əd or /ˈhɛsiəd/ HEH-see-əd;^[1] Greek: Ἡσίοδος Hēsíodos) was an ancient Greek poet generally thought to have been active between 750 and 650 BC, around the same time as Homer.^[2]^[3] He is generally regarded by Western authors as 'the first written poet in the Western tradition to regard himself as an individual persona with an active role to play in his subject.'^[4] Ancient authors credited Hesiod and Homer with establishing Greek religious customs.^[5] Modern scholars refer to him as a major source on Greek mythology, farming techniques, early economic thought,^[6] Archaic Greek astronomy, cosmology, and ancient time-keeping.
