A Hesiodic Heldendämmerung: Some Textual Problems and Reconstructions
abstract
This chapter examines the ending of the Hesiodic Catalogue of Women (204.94-180 M.-W. = 155.94-180 Most = 110.94-180 Hirschberger). Based on fresh collations of the papyri, it proposes a hypothetical reconstruction of a papyrus roll of the fifth and final book of the poem, as well as several readings and suggestions.
