The Poincaré series of an irreducible plane curve singularity equals the ζ-function of its monodromy, by a result of Campillo, Delgado, and Gusein-Zade. We discuss the derivation of this fact from a formula of Ebeling and Gusein-Zade relating the Poincaré series of a quasi-homogeneous complete intersection singularity to the Saito dual of a product of ζ-functions.
