Spuria Hesiodea Neglecta

This paper analyses two Hesiodic fragments ignored by editors of Hesiod. The first fragment is a hexameter, cited under Hesiod's name, which is preserved in a gloss from the Etymologicum Genuinum A. It is not a new 'Hesiodic' fragment, as Dalila Curiazi supposed, but rather a quotation of Dionysius Perigetes (Descr: Orb. 537) and a new indirect testimonium of his poem. The second is a gloss from the Etymologicum Gudianum and provides a hitherto overlooked one-word Hesiodic fragment: Through metrical evidence I show that it is spurious, and cautiously suggest that it ought to be attributed instead to the shadowy tragic poet Isidorus.
