5.0
The 5*’s are for West’s translation, which is excellent - it reads like Hesiod’s Greek while in fact being very accessible, easily understood English.
Note though that I think Works & Days is a drag - the second half bored me to death. The first half, though, and all of the Theogony - those are absolutely worth the read!
