Specify the traits that makes DRN philosophy vs regular didactic poetry

The essay should use examples and arguments in favour of Hesiod being a posible philosophical text. Aratus and Nicander can also be used as examples but personally I believe Hesiod should be the prime focus as it does have philosophical tints on a more religious level.

Add a basic structure of what I think the essay should be like but of course you may k ow better. we have to use footnotes to reference so technically there can be more references than sources. The essay should use both primary texts and modern scholarship as sources.
