Hesiod and immigration

Hesiod, the Greek who lived between 750 and 650 BC wrote about his father who came to Askra at some time before 750 BC. A long time ago.

"Even as my father and yours brother,
Used to sail around, trying to make a living
And so landed here, after having journeyed much. . . .

Not running from prosperity or wealth or success,
But from the grinding poverty such as Zeus gives to men.

So he came here and settled in the Mount Helicon country,
In a miserable little community,
A vile place in wintertime, a hard place in summer,
A nice place never!"

So there they were, making a new life. . . .

Has anything changed in the intervening 2760 years????
