Hesiod and Homer are generally considered the earliest Greek poets whose work has survived since at least Herodotus 's time ( Histories , 2.53), and they are often paired. Scholars disagree about who lived first, and some authors have even brought them together in an imagined poetic contest. Aristarchus first argued for Homer's priority, a claim that was generally accepted by later antiquity. Hesiod's writings serve as a major source on Greek mythology farming techniques, archaic Greek astronomy and ancient time -keeping. Contents Life Works Works and Days Theogony ... edit Life J. A. Symonds writes that "'Hesiod is also the immediate parent of gnomic verse , and the ancestor of those deep thinkers who speculated in the Attic Age upon the mysteries of human life". Some scholars have doubted whether Hesiod alone conceived and wrote the poems attributed to him. For example, Symonds writes that "the first ten verses of the Works and Days are spurious - borrowed probably from some Orphic hymn to Zeus and recognised as not the work of Hesiod by critics as ancient as

He refers to himself as a farmer in Boeotia, a region of central Greece, but other than that we know little. His poetry codified the chronology and genealogy of the Greek myths. Works and Days and the Theogony are the only two complete works we have of Hesiod, other than the first few lines of a poem called the Shield of Heracles In Works and Days Hesiod divided time into five ages:the Golden age, ruled by Cronos, when people lived extremely long lives 'without sorrow of heart'; the Silver age, ruled by Zeus; the Bronze age, an epoch of war; the Heroic age, the time of the Trojan war; and lastly the Iron age, the corrupt present. This is similar to Hindu and Buddhist concepts of the Kali Yuga. The idea of a Golden Age has likewise had a profound impact on western thought. Works and Days also discusses pagan ethics, extols hard work, and lists lucky and unlucky days of the month for various activities.

Hesiod He is one of the oldest Greek poets born in Askra of Boeotia in the 8th century. He wrote two great poems: "Works and Days" and "Theogony". In "Works and Days" he speaks about justice and hard work, which is the only way to success, and he gives advice about agriculture, commerce, navigation as well as about marriage, bringing-up children and other moral and useful precepts. "Theogony" is an Epic which consists of 1022 lines and his author treats the birth and the history of the Greek gods as well as the creation of the Universe. According to him Chaos was out there first, then Earth, Tartarus - in the depth of Earth -, and last of all Eros (Love). Eros is the natural power which caused the union of the identical parts of matter resulting in the formation of several bodies, and by keeping them united it kept the whole Universe in order. These four elements are mentioned as self made elements and not as coming from each other. By "chaos" Hesiod means the dark which dominated everywhere (or water). From Chaos came forth Erebus and Night and then night bare Aether and Day. And Earth first gave birth to Uranos (Heaven), then Mountains and Pontus.

The Stoicism of Aurelius is grounded in rationality and rests solidly on an ethical approach rooted in nature. Stoicism promises real happiness and joy in this life and a serenity that can never be soured by personal misfortune. This philosophy has universal appeal with practical implications on problems ranging from climate change and terrorism to the personal management of sickness, aging, depression and addiction.

home index ancient Greece Hesiod Hesiod (British Museum, London) Hesiod: legendary Greek poet, author of the Theogony and Works and Days In the mid-eighth century, a sailor settled at Ascra in Boeotia, where his son started to write a poem on farming, Works and days . The poet is usually called Hesiod, after another Boeotian poet, who had composed a primitive but systematic account of the history of the gods, full of dark forces, deities, and violence: the Theogony , which is influenced by Near Eastern myths about the rise and fall of the dynasties of gods. The ancients believed that both poems were written by the same man, but many modern classicists agree that the author of the Works and days was influenced by Homer , whereas the author of the Theogony , Hesiod, seems to have been Homer's contemporary. Both works are fascinating: the younger because of its superior style, the other because it offers an important introduction to Greek mythology. Several other texts were attributed to Hesiod, like the Catalogue of Women and Precepts of Chiron This brief article has been written to offer background information to the real articles on Livius.Org

Biographical Encyclopedia of Astronomy : Hesiod Born: c. 730?, Askra? Died: ?, Askra? Despite Hesiod's enormous influence in the ancient world, however, only two surviving works can be ascribed to him with certainty. The earlier of the two, the Theogony asteroeis "starry") associates him with the arching dome of the dark night sky itself, even though at this point in the narrative neither the stars nor any celestial bodies have yet been brought into existence. Hesiod later (375-83) completes the genealogy of the objects visible in the sky and describes the later descendants of Ouranos: the Sun (Helios), Moon (Selene) and Dawn (Eos), offspring of the Titans Theia and Hyperion, and the stars themselves, fathered with Eos by the aptly named Astraios. According to the poet the shining stars crown the sky and have as their sibling the planet Venus (Eosphoros, "bringer of dawn"), the only planet mentioned in Greek literature before the Classical Age. Works and Days Hesiod's marking of the risings and settings of a relatively few stars and star patterns nearby to one another also provided for an annual indication, lasting over a period of weeks, of the desirable periods for specific human activity. The Works and Days also reveals a knowledge of the solstices ("turnings of the sun"), and the poet mentions them three times: when the rising of Arcturus is said to occur sixty days after the winter same time of year (479-80); and when the sailing season is said to begin fifty days after the summer solstice (663-5). Hesiod, however, makes no specific mention of the equinoxes even though Pliny (

The Birth of Zeus (ll. 453-491) But Rhea was subject in love to Cronos and bare splendid children, Hestia (18), Demeter, and gold-shod Hera and strong Hades, pitiless in heart, who dwells under the earth, and the loud-crashing Earth-Shaker, and wise Zeus, father of gods and men, by whose thunder the wide earth is shaken. These great Cronos swallowed as each came forth from the womb to his mother's knees with this intent, that no other of the proud sons of Heaven should hold the kingly office amongst the deathless gods. For he learned from Earth and starry Heaven that he was destined to be overcome by his own son, strong though he was, through the contriving of great Zeus (19). Therefore he kept no blind outlook, but watched and swallowed down his children: and unceasing grief seized Rhea. But when she was about to bear Zeus, the father of gods and men, then she besought her own dear parents, Earth and starry Heaven, to devise some plan with her

NOTES ON THE GENEALOGIES OF HESIOD: Khaos in Hesiod's poem is the air, literally the "gap" between heaven and earth. He uses the word clearly as such in his description of the Titan-War where, through the flaming lightning bolts of Zeus "all the land (gaia) seethed, and Okeanos' streams and the unfruitful sea (pontos) ... flame unspeakable rose to the bright upper air (aither) ... astounding heat seized the gap (khaos)." At the start of the genealogies Hesiod says "at the first Khaos came to be, but next wide-bossomed Gaia (Earth) ... and dim Tartaros in the depths of the wide-pathed Earth, and Eros." Some interpret this to mean that Gaia and the others were born of, or emerged from, Khaos. However most read this passage to say that the five emerged sequentially but independently of one another. Indeed, Hesiod goes on to specifically

Hesiod (c. 740-670 B.C.) Hesiod from Ascra was a famous poet in ancient Greece, living about 740-670 B.C. His mentioning of the Pleiades and the Hyades in his work, "Works and Days," of about 720 to 700 B.C., is one of the first known documents related to these two open star clusters in Taurus; only Homer 's mentioning in his Ilias is probably a couple of decades older. Hesiod is commemorated by the naming of Moon Crater Hesiodus (29.4S, 16.3W, 42.0, named 1935), Mercury crater Hesiod (58.5S, 35.0W, 107.0 km, in 1976) as well as asteroid (8550) Hesiodos (discovered August 12, 1994 on La Silla by E.W.
