Beschreibung

Hesiod's 'The Works and Days' is a classic piece of ancient Greek literature that provides a didactic and moralizing look at the nature of work, agriculture, and the human condition. Written in a straightforward and accessible style, the book is grounded in the tradition of Greek epic poetry while also presenting a unique perspective on the importance of labor and living a virtuous life. Hesiod's use of myth and allegory adds depth to his exploration of themes such as justice, fate, and the relationship between humanity and the gods. This work is essential for anyone interested in understanding the foundational texts of Western literature and philosophy. Hesiod's influence on subsequent thinkers and writers is undeniable, and his work continues to resonate with readers today. His emphasis on the practical aspects of life and the pursuit of excellence is particularly relevant in our modern, fast-paced society. 'The Works and Influence of Hesiod' is a must-read for those seeking wisdom and guidance in navigating the complexities of the human experience.

    Much is expected of a merfolk princess, and being a lesbian is not one of them. 
      
    Laela’s adventurous spirit and curiosity — sexual and otherwise — takes her far from the palace and prying eyes to explore the shipwrecks on the ocean floor. Out there, she has the privacy to experience her first time with another mermaid, and she believes her secret is safe — until her lover betrays her, selling their secret to the highest bidder. 
      
    On the brink of being forced into a marriage to a merman, Laela takes one last exploration voyage to a freshly sunk vessel. The first on the scene, Laela has the pick of the spoils — including a beautiful human woman, preserved alive in the hull of the ship. 
      
    After experiencing true bliss, will Laela be able to return to the palace, or will her magically inclined mentor be able to help her pass as a human on the surface?
