*Le métier du mythe* is a scholarly study focused on Hesiod and the role of myth in early Greek poetic thought. The subtitle found in library records, *lectures d'Hésiode*, indicates that the book examines how Hesiodic poetry shapes, organizes, and transmits mythic material. Rather than treating myth as a simple collection of stories, the work approaches it as a structured literary and cultural practice with interpretive force. This edition, published in French by Presses universitaires du Septentrion, is intended for readers interested in classical studies, mythology, and literary analysis. Its substantial length and academic framing suggest close readings of Hesiodic texts alongside discussion of myth as a critical category. The book is especially relevant to study of ancient Greek literature, the construction of divine and heroic narratives, and the ways later criticism has understood myth in relation to poetry.
