Hésiode et la Muse (Hesiod and the Muse)

When he was not working in the fields, Hesiod enjoyed sharing his knowledge with others. Rather than long tedious speeches, he took his phorminx – ancestor of the lyre – plucked its strings and began to sing the topic that was close to his heart. Princes or peasants, many were those who came to listen to him on the island of Euboea. Hesiod, who was a pious man, never failed in his inspiration to invoke the Muses, who resided on Mount Helicon. Her favorite was Polymnia.
