What is the author's style in Theogony and Works and Days by Hesiod?

These poems have been translated and so are quite comprehensive. Unfortunately, translations lose something of their originality and genius. Nonetheless, these poems convey the reverence that the author upholds for the gods of his people. The language that is used is not quite common but is still very much within the bounds of understanding. The language exemplifies the wisdom, strength and power of the gods, while also abasing mankind to the greater beings.
