She contends that both Hesiod in the Works and Days and Vergil in the Georgics saw farming in this way, and so wrote their poems not only about farming itself, but also about its deeper ethical and religious implications. 606 $aDidactic poetry, Classical$xHistory and criticism 606 $aDidactic poetry, Greek$vTranslations into English 606 $aMythology, Classical, in literature 606 $aAgriculture$zGreece$vPoetry 606 $aAgriculture in literature 606 $aGods, Greek, in literature 606 $aGods, Roman, in literature 606 $aMetaphysics in literature 606 $aFarm life in literature 606 $aSeasons in literature 615 0$aDidactic poetry, Classical$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aDidactic poetry, Greek 615 0$aMythology, Classical, in literature. 615 0$aAgriculture 615 0$aAgriculture in literature. 615 0$aGods, Greek, in literature. 615 0$aGods, Roman, in literature. 615 0$aMetaphysics in literature. 615 0$aFarm life in literature. 615 0$aSeasons in literature. 676 $a881.01 700 $aNelson$b Stephanie A$g(Stephanie Anne),$f1958-$01715015 702 $aGrene$b David 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809356103321 996 $aGod and the land$94109262 997 $aUNINA
