Hesiod

The Great Works


1. THE VERSE, however (the saying of Rhadamanthys), is in Hesiod in the Great Works and is as follows: “If a man sow evil, he shall reap evil increase; if men do to him as he has done, it will be true justice.”	1

2. Some believe that the Silver Race (is to be attributed to) the earth, declaring that in the Great Works Hesiod makes silver to be of the family of Earth.	2
