Hesiod, THE THEOGONY ll. 1-25 ) From the Heliconian Muses let us begin to sing , who hold the great and holy mount of Helicon, and dance on soft feet about the deep-blue spring and the altar of the almighty son of Cronos , and, when they have washed their tender bodies in Permessus or in the Horse's Spring or Olmeius, make their fair, lovely dances upon highest Helicon and move with vigorous feet. Thence they arise and go abroad by night , veiled in thick mist, and utter their song with lovely voice , praising Zeus the aegis-holder and queenly Hera of Argos who walks on golden sandals and the daughter of Zeus the aegis-holder bright-eyed Athene, and Phoebus Apollo , and Artemis who delights in arrows , and Poseidon the earth-holder who shakes the earth, and reverend Themis and quick-glancing (coquettishness) Aphrodite , and Hebe with the crown of gold, and fair Dione, Leto, Iapetus, and Cronos the crafty counsellor Eos and great Helius and bright Selene , Earth too, and great Oceanus, and dark Night, and the holy race of all the other deathless ones that are for ever. And one day they taught Hesiod glorious song while he was shepherding his lambs under holy Helicon, and this word first the goddesses said to me the Muses of Olympus, daughters of Zeus who holds the aegis:

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 Pausanias".

Reading Hesiod's Theogony (with Notes and Questions) (Lombardo translation) When you read Hesiod, try to concentrate on the stories without worrying too much about the long lists and genealogies of gods. You will find out who the important gods are by listening in class, and reading these notes and "Greek History and the Gods." Read the introduction to the book, pp. 1-7 to learn about Hesiod's life and times. Read also pages 12-16 and "Reading Hesiod's Theogony . You will find the notes in the book (91-103) and glossary (105-128) most helpful. The notes in the book are keyed to line number, while my notes below are keyed (mostly) to page number. The poem starts with a hymn to the Muses, the nine goddesses who inspire poets (61-64). They are the daughters of Mnemosyne (Memory) and Zeus. Why do you think memory would be important to these early poets? Hesiod's Point of View If the Theogony is about anything, it is about birth, the "birth of the gods" which is what the title means. In this early creation-time, the gods are synonymous with the universe (cosmos) and the order of the universe (cosmos). Yet throughout the Theogony , the gods behave in a most disorderly fashion. Why is this? There are many interesting answers to this question, but here's a start. The poem presents the creation of the gods and the universe and the consolidation of the gods' power as a struggle between fathers and sons and between male force and female birth.

Hesiod Hesiod , the epic poet second only to Homer in importance, was born at Ascra in Boeotia, near the mount Hellikon. The exact date of his birth is not known, but it is estimated around 800 BC. Since this is a mere estimation, it is probable that his poems are contemporary of Homer's. Three poems of Hesiod have been preserved, though in the ancient times many others bore his name. The poems are: Work and days , highly valued by the ancients for its ethical teaching, the Theogony , where a lot of information about the local traditions of Gods and the origin of the world is given and the Shield of Herakles , an epic combat between the hero Herakles and his adversary Kyknos. His works, though not on a par to Homer, kept teaching Greeks for centuries and contain the sperms of lyric, iambic and elegiac poetry. There are many stories about his death. His tomb was displayed at Orchomenos.

Busby Loss=Wakeup Call to Beltway Moron Democrats by Hesiod Wed Jun 07, 2006 at 06:41:19 AM PDT I'll make this short and sweet. To Rahm Emmanuel and Chuck Schumer: If you think the Democratic party will coast into majorities this November by just sitting back and hoping the GOP implodes, you are in for a rude awakening. The message you should derive from CA-50 is that you better do something to get the Democratic base excited and enthusiastic, or you are going to lose yet again. Hesiod's diary And let me set a benchmark right here and right now. There is no Goddamned reason why the Democrats should not be able to take back the House of Representatives, and pick up at least 5 Senate seats in November, if you follow the correct election strategy. None. So, do not think we will let you off the hook if you follow the safe, easy, and chickenshit path of not creating distinctions between the Democratic party and the Republican party that will excite and motivate your base. A dead buffalo could run the Democratic Congressional campaigns this year and pick up SOME seats! The question is whether you squander your historic opportunity by playing it safe and acting like mealy-mouthed dumbasses, or you go for the tidal wave and sweep the GOP bastards out of power.

Works Like Hesiod, Xenophanes was a Source: artsci.lsu.edu Excellent critical analyses of Hesiod's writings are in Werner Wilhelm Jaeger, Paideia: The Ideals of Greek Culture, vol. 1 (trans. 1939; 2d ed. 1945), and Friedrich Solmsen, Hesiod and Aeschylus (1949). Useful for general historical background and cultural interpretation of the poems is Andrew Robert Burn, The World of Hesiod (1936; 2d ed. 1967). See ... Alfred Eckhard Zimmern, The Greek Commonwealth: Politics and Economics in Fifth-century Athens (1911; 5th rev. ed. 1931), and Chester G. Starr, The Origins of Greek Civilization (1961). Source: answers.com instructions, Hesiod recounts the history of the gods, beginning with the emergence of Chaos, Gaea (Earth), and Eros. Gaea gives birth to Uranus (Heaven), the Mountains, and Pontus (the Sea); and later, after uniting herself to Uranus, she bears many other deities. One of them is the Titan Cronus, who rebels against Uranus, emasculates him, and afterward rules until he in turn is overpowered by Zeus. This story of crime and revolt, which is the central subject of the Theogony, is interrupted by many additional pedigrees of gods. Elsewhere, in addition to mythical family relations, Hesiod presents new ones that are the product of his own speculation. Thus, the names of the 50 sea maidens (the Nereids) fathered by the sea god Nereus indicate various qualities of the Sea.

HESIOD c.753 - c.680 BC Greek Poet Hesiod was the first major Greek poet after Homer and the first of mainland Greece whose works survived until today. The seriousness of Hesiod served as a counterpart to the more glamorous poetry of Homer. Two of his complete epics have survived, the 'Theogony' in which Hesiod tried to solve conflicting accounts of the Greek gods, and the 'Works and Days', describing peasant life.

38. MythNET - Other Writers Of Mythology Read this page for information about the writers Hesiod, Aeschylus, Apuleius, Apollonius of Rhodes and Theocritus. http://www.classicsunveiled.com/mythnet/html/writers_o.html

MythNET Gods Game Feedback ... Theocritus Hesiod Hesiod, a poor farmer, was believed to have written in the ninth, sometimes eighth century. Hesiod was the author of several significant poems, the most meaningful being the Iliad Odyssey , and Theogony . Hesiod was believed to have been the first man in Greece to wonder how everything had happened, the world, the sky, the gods, mankind, and to think out an explanation. The Theogony is an account of the creation of the universe and the generations of gods, and this has been proven to be very useful in increasing our knowledge about Greek mythology. Aeschylus Aeschylus was the oldest of the three tragic poets, the other two being Sophocles and Euripides. Except for Aeschylus' Persians , written to celebrate the Greeks victory over the Persians, all of his plays contain mythological subjects. Along with Homer , these works provide the main foundation of our knowledge of Greek mythology. Apuleius Apuleius, a Latin writer, was believed to have written in the second century AD. The famous love story of Cupid and Psyche is told only by Apuleius, who writing style and patterns have often said to have mimicked
