The analysis of the correspondence between Hesiod and Daniel turn out to be, surprinsingly, proficient, specially with regard to the myth of ages, in the Works and days, belonging to the first, and the dream of compound statue, in the book that has the name of the second. The analogy shows that, retaining the proportions due to each one in terms of setting, language and culture on the whole, the contact points occur from the common sources, having repercutions on the framework and literary gender. The aim of this research is to verify in which measure Hesiod would have influenced the book of Daniel, having in mind that Greek poet lived at about six centuries before the Jewish editor´s book. In this way, the research begins analysing and translating the Greek myth, following always the stages of the historical-critical method. Next, is made a study about the origin and features of the apocalyptic gender that brings the two texts close to each other. Subsequently, the analysis and translation of the extract of Daniel to, finally, summarize the proximity between them, which, anyway, has already been occuring along the research.
