Written sometime in the 8th-century BC, FTP, name this long poem by Hesiod
In its second section a note to unmarried men advises, "Let your wife have been grown up four years, and marry her in the fifth." Other topics like injunctions against a variety of evils, a taunting tongue, and gossip occupy the remainder of that second part, which makes up lines 276 through 828.  The first part includes an allegorical passage addressing this work to the author's brother, Perses, and then discusses two major myths.  The second myth traces the decline of man from the Golden Age to the author's own Iron Age, and the first myth discusses Pandora and her box.  However, the overall theme deals with peasant life and the necessity of honest, strenuous work.  Written sometime in the 8th-century BC, FTP, name this long poem by Hesiod
