Abstract
This article focuses on a neglected hexametric fragment attributed to Hesiod (fr. 372 m.-w.) by the physician Euthydemus of Athens (second century BCE) via Athenaeus. The topic of the fragment is quite peculiar: a list of salted fish written in a style reminiscent of the gastronomical poetry of Archestratus of Gela. Athenaeus had already noted that the fragment was a forgery, possibly fabricated by Euthydemus. This article will discuss matters of content and meter and provide a running commentary on the fragment.
