The ''Literature/{{Theogony}}'' is an account of how the world came to be and contains what is now the standard genealogy of the Greek gods.
The ''Literature/WorksAndDays'' is framed as a letter of advice to a lazy brother. It extols the value of labour and justice, while laying out an idealized calendar of tasks: sowing, harvesting, trading and so on. It is also the earliest appearance of the "Ages of Man", the decline from a Golden Age to the present-day Iron Age.
