In the Theogony, Hesiod tells how the gods come into being. In Works and Days, he addresses his brother Perses over a disputed inheritance, bringing questions of fairness close to the soil and the farming year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Homeric Hymns praise the gods through story, while the Homerica preserves fragments and summaries of epics about Troy and Thebes. Rather than one continuous plot, you find songs, catalogues and surviving pieces.
