Hesiod

Hesiod (fl. 750 BCE) was a Greek poet who lived sometime between 750 and 650 BCE, around the same as Homer. He is generally regarded as the first written poet in the Western tradition to regard himself as an individual persona with an active role to play in his subject.

At one point, he wrote a poem titled Theogony, taking influence from the Muses, the daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne.^[1]
