jReverence to gods is a recurring idea. "Theogony" and "Works and Days" are very associated with the Olympian gods. Hesiod constantly shows his reverence to these gods by his appeals to the Muses that serve the gods as well as his appeals and praise to the gods themselves. Hesiod constantly adjures his audience to adhere to the gods' commands and desires.
