Pracownia Badań nad Tradycją Oralną}, language={eng}, abstract={Hesiod’s Works and Days shows a number of peculiarities. Both the Winter segment and the Nautilia contain doublets; significant narrative details are omitted in both the myths; there are internal contradictions; the poem hints at material that is not developed, such as Pandora’s deceptive speech and bird-omens. This paper suggests that the poem is a transitional text that establishes a definitive version of a poem previously performed with extensive variation. Such a version required compromises if it was to convey the poet’s thought without being open to misunderstanding and still be performable in one sitting.}, title={Works and Days as a Transitional Text}, type={tekst}, doi={https://doi.org/10.34616/QO.2019.4.55.78}, keywords={transitional text, Myth of Races, Pandora, doublets, abbreviation, performance time}, }
