Say what you will about archaic Greek literature, it’s just SO neatly divided by its class origin - Homer with his aristocratic morality that weirdly has been taken as standing in for the time and place in general; Hesiod with his tedious middle-class wisdom, as recognizable as if he were speaking at a local Rotary club; enslaved Aesop’s wily tricksters and boasting idiots.
