Hesiod, Works And Days, 40-64
νήπιοι, οὐδὲ ἴσασιν ὅσῳ πλέον ἥμισυ παντὸς The greater part, you carried it from there
οὐδʼ ὅσον ἐν μαλάχῃ τε καὶ ἀσφοδέλῳ μέγʼ ὄνειαρ. And praised those kings, bribe-eaters, who adore
κρύψαντες γὰρ ἔχουσι θεοὶ βίον ἀνθρώποισιν· To judge such cases. Fools! They do not know
ῥηιδίως γάρ κεν καὶ ἐπʼ ἤματι ἐργάσσαιο That half may well transcend the total store
ὥστε σε κεἰς ἐνιαυτὸν ἔχειν καὶ ἀεργὸν ἐόντα· Or how the asphodel and the mallow
αἶψά κε πηδάλιον μὲν ὑπὲρ καπνοῦ καταθεῖο Will benefit them much. The means of life
ἔργα βοῶν δʼ ἀπόλοιτο καὶ ἡμιόνων ταλαεργῶν. The gods keep from us or else easily
ἀλλὰ Ζεὺς ἔκρυψε χολωσάμενος φρεσὶν ᾗσιν Could one work for one day, then, free from strife
ὅττι μιν ἐξαπάτησε Προμηθεὺς ἀγκυλομήτης· One’s rudder packed away, live lazily
τοὔνεκʼ ἄρʼ ἀνθρώποισιν ἐμήσατο κήδεα λυγρά. Each ox and hard-worked mule sent off. In spleen
κρύψε δὲ πῦρ· τὸ μὲν αὖτις ἐὺς πάις Ἰαπετοῖο That fraudulent Prometheus duped him, Zeu
ἔκλεψʼ ἀνθρώποισι Διὸς πάρα μητιόεντος Kept safe this thing, devising labours keen
ἐν κοῒλῳ νάρθηκι λαθὼν Δία τερπικέραυνον. For men. He hid the fire: for human use
τὸν δὲ χολωσάμενος προσέφη νεφεληγερέτα Ζευς· The honourable son of Iapetu
Ἰαπετιονίδη, πάντων πέρι μήδεα εἰδώς Stole it from counsellor Zeus and in his guile
ὣς ἔφατʼ· ἐκ δʼ ἐγέλασσε πατὴρ ἀνδρῶν τε θεῶν τε. Stole it from counsellor Zeus and in his guile
χαίρεις πῦρ κλέψας καὶ ἐμὰς φρένας ἠπεροπεύσας He hid it in a fennel stalk and thu
σοί τʼ αὐτῷ μέγα πῆμα καὶ ἀνδράσιν ἐσσομένοισιν. Hoodwinked the Thunderer, who aired his bile
τοῖς δʼ ἐγὼ ἀντὶ πυρὸς δώσω κακόν, ᾧ κεν ἅπαντες Cloud-Gatherer that he was, and said: “O son
τέρπωνται κατὰ θυμὸν ἑὸν κακὸν ἀμφαγαπῶντες. Of Iapetus, the craftiest god of all
nan You stole the fire, content with what you’d done
Ἥφαιστον δʼ ἐκέλευσε περικλυτὸν ὅττι τάχιστα And duped me. So great anguish shall befall
γαῖαν ὕδει φύρειν, ἐν δʼ ἀνθρώπου θέμεν αὐδὴν Both you and future mortal men. A thing
καὶ σθένος, ἀθανάτῃς δὲ θεῇς εἰς ὦπα ἐίσκειν Of ill in lieu of fire I’ll afford
παρθενικῆς καλὸν εἶδος ἐπήρατον· αὐτὰρ Ἀθήνην Them all to take delight in, cherishing
ἔργα διδασκῆσαι, πολυδαίδαλον ἱστὸν ὑφαίνειν· The evil”. Thus he spoke and then the lord

The earth assails, and makes the field his thrall. 1.124. Pray for wet summers and for winters fine 1.125. Ye husbandmen; in winter's dust the crop 1.126. Exceedingly rejoice, the field hath joy; 1.127. No tilth makes placeName key= 1.128. Nor Gargarus his own harvests so admire. 1.129. Why tell of him, who, having launched his seed 1.130. Sets on for close encounter, and rakes smooth 1.131. The dry dust hillocks, then on the tender corn 1.132. Lets in the flood, whose waters follow fain; 1.133. And when the parched field quivers, and all the blade 1.134. Are dying, from the brow of its hill-bed 1.135. See! see! he lures the runnel; down it falls 1.136. Waking hoarse murmurs o'er the polished stones 1.137. And with its bubblings slakes the thirsty fields? 1.138. Or why of him, who lest the heavy ear 1.139. O'erweigh the stalk, while yet in tender blade 1.140. Feeds down the crop's luxuriance, when its growth 1.141. First tops the furrows? Why of him who drain 1.142. The marsh-land's gathered ooze through soaking sand 1.143. Chiefly what time in treacherous moons a stream 1.144. Goes out in spate, and with its coat of slime 1.145. Holds all the country, whence the hollow dyke 1.146. Sweat steaming vapour?
