Hesiod's Farmer's Year

Hesiod lived in the far west of present day Turkey, a natural place for civilization to rise. He left beautiful Chaimi when he was young due to his father's poverty. The Farmer's Year gushes with energy and tangents. It's a hymn to the changing seasons. A man who slacks off work doesn't fill his barn, nor does a procrastinator. Keeping at it gets the job done.
