Concerning the age of Homer and Hesiod, there is no consensus. Some have written that Homer was older than Hesiod, amongst whom are Philochorus and Xenophanes, others that he is younger, including the poet Lucius Accius and the historian Ephorus. Marcus Varro in the first book of his Portraits says that it is not clear who was born first, but that there is no doubt that they overlapped for some time, and that this is shown by the epigram which is written on the tripod said to have been set up by Hesiod on Mount Helicon. | Concerning the age of Homer and Hesiod, there is no consensus.
