The seasons

A quite nice edition that includes all poems of Hesiod. The first one, talking about an epic battle, is very illustrative and vivid, so I would like to hear it with some kind of ancient music. It would make a great hymn. The second one is about the genealogical tree of Gods, and therefore Cosmos itself, according to the ancient Greek mythology and traditions. Very informative and interesting, especially if you are into this stuff. The third and final part is a bit boring, full of details on what you should do according to each month and what generally happens in the nature in each month. But I think it is really wonderful that through all these works of Hesiod, a vast amount of knowledge of the really ancient Greek world is survived and passed on to us, who can enjoy it and inspire from it.
