Print Homer's Worthiest Rival Books By RICHARD MARTIN March 20, 2007 A D V E R T I S E M E N T A D V E R T I S E M E N T An ancient poetry slam: Homer, immortal epicist, takes on Hesiod, famous for agricultural maxims and hymns — and loses. Or so says the "Certamen," a Greek fantasy from the age of the Roman Emperor Hadrian on which Friedrich Nietzsche, age 26, cut his philological teeth. The philosopher-to-be took its agonism to heart. Like King Ganyktor, umpire in the tale, he seems to have had a soft spot for the peaceful Hesiod, sympathizing later (in "The Genealogy of Morals") with the poetic dilemma of how an after-comer assimilates the beautiful horror of the "Iliad." Perhaps Nietzsche admired another soul out of synch. Antiquity was clueless about exactly when Hesiod lived. (Modern scholars, only slightly less ignorant, place him and Homer somewhere between 800 and 600 before the common era). Lore called them second cousins, rivals, strangers centuries apart, Hesiod sometimes the earlier. Yet Homer (pace "Certamen") was the preferred maker of hexameters. Hesiod's name branded almost everything that was not heroic epic: moral advice, travelogues of Hades, poems on bird-signs, astronomy, and mythical metalworkers. If his choice of topics was less rousing, his style rougher, that was explained by provenance, the bare uplands around Mt. Helikon in Boeotia, far from Homer's cosmopolitan Ionia.

Hesiod From LoveToKnow 1911 HESIOD, the father of Greek didactic poetry , probably flourished during the 8th century B.C. His father had migrated from the Aeolic Cyme in Asia Minor to Boeotia ; and Hesiod and his brother Perses were born at Ascra, near mount Helicon Works and Days, 635). Here, as he fed his father's flocks, he received his commission from the Muses to be their prophet and poet - a commission which he recognized by dedicating to them a tripod won by him in a contest of song (see below) at some funeral games at Chalcis in Euboea , still in existence at Helicon in the age of Pausanias Theogony, W. and D., 656; Pausanias ix. 38.3). After the death of his father Hesiod is said to have left his native land in disgust at the result of a law-suit with his brother and to have migrated to Naupactus . There was a tradition that he was murdered by the sons of his host in the sacred enclosure of the Nemean Zeus at Oeneon in Locris (Thucydides iii. 96; Pausanias ix. 31); his remains were removed for burial by command of the Delphic oracle to Orchomenus in Boeotia, where the Ascraeans settled after the destruction of their town by the Thespians, and where, according to Pausanias, his grave was to be seen.

Goddess Religion, Patriarchy, and their Reconciliation in Hesiod's Theogony Dr. Ess Two different religious/political systems: Chthonian Olympian We can see efforts to reconcile these two traditions in Hesiod's Theogony , and in later Greek literature, such as Aeschylus's Oresteian Trilogy Chthonian gods/goddesses (Minoan; Crete) Examples: Earth ( Gaia Fates; Furies (or: the Eumenides , "the kindly ones"); Themis (goddess of justice , order; the mother of Prometheus); Demeter (goddess of crops); Persephone (Queen of the lower world - i.e., a goddess associated with death). TIME as primary emphasis IMAGE OF THE FEMININE: "Venus figures," emphasizing generative/sustaining powers of the goddess. Religious style: the cult of the goddess religion ...takes certain forms, involving at least the more elementary kinds of mysticism, that is, the belief in the possibility of a union between the worshipper and the object of his worship. Thus the rites may take the form of adoption as her son or of sexual communion. Orgiastic elements appear, as in the passionate, clashing music and frenzied dancing employed by the followers of Rhea and Kybele." (W.K.C. Guthrie, The Greeks and their Gods (Boston: 1954), p. 31)

The first portion is an ethical enforcement of honest labor and dissuasive of strife and idleness (1-383); the second consists of hints and rules as to husbandry (384-764); and the third is a religious calendar of the months, with remarks on the days most lucky or the contrary for rural or nautical employments. The connecting link of the whole poem is the author's advice to his brother, who appears to have bribed the corrupt judges to deprive Hesiod of his already scantier inheritance, and to whom, as he wasted his substance lounging in the agora, the poet more than once returned good for evil, though he tells him there will be a limit to this unmerited kindness. In the Works and Days the episodes which rise above an even didactic level are the "Creation and Equipment of Pandora", the "Five Ages of the World" and the much admired "Description of Winter" (by some critics judged post-Hesiodic). The poem also contains the earliest known fable in Greek literature, that of "The Hawk and the Nightingale." It is in the

As for the one, a man would praise her when he came to understand her; but the other is blameworthy: and they are wholly different in nature. For one fosters 15 evil war and battle, being cruel: her no man loves; but perforce, through the will of the deathless gods, men pay harsh Strife her honour due. But the other is the elder daughter of dark Night, and the son of Cronos who sits above and dwells in the aether, set her in the roots of the earth: and she is far kinder to men.

In Works of Hesiod and the Homeric Hymns , highly acclaimed poet and translator Daryl Hine brings to life the words of Hesiod and the world of Archaic Greece. While most available versions of these early Greek writings are rendered in prose, Hine's illuminating translations represent these early classics as they originally appeared, in verse. Since prose was not invented as a literary medium until well after Hesiod's time, presenting these works as poems more closely approximates not only the mechanics but also the melody of the originals. This volume includes Hesiod's Works and Days and Theogony , two of the oldest non-Homeric poems to survive from antiquity.

Home Ordering Search/Browse Contact ... HUP Hesiod, I, Theogony. Works and Days. Testimonia Hesiod Edited and Translated by Glenn W. Most Hesiod describes himself as a Boeotian shepherd who heard the Muses call upon him to sing about the gods. His exact dates are unknown, but he has often been considered a younger contemporary of Homer. This volume of the new Loeb Classical Library edition offers a general introduction, a fluid translation facing an improved Greek text of Hesiod's two extant poems, and a generous selection of testimonia from a wide variety of ancient sources regarding Hesiod's life, works, and reception. In Theogony Hesiod charts the history of the divine world, narrating the origin of the universe and the rise of the gods, from first beginnings to the triumph of Zeus, and reporting on the progeny of Zeus and of goddesses in union with mortal men. In Works and Days Hesiod shifts his attention to the world of men, delivering moral precepts and practical advice regarding agriculture, navigation, and many other matters; along the way he gives us the myths of Pandora and of the Golden, Silver, and other Races of Men.

58. Hesiod: Theogony Because Hesiod is introduced as having been visited by the Muses at the foot of Mount Helicon, Helicon becomes synonymous with poetic inspiration in the http://www.wsu.edu/~delahoyd/theogony.html

Orpheus HESIOD: THEOGONY "Theogony" means "birth of the gods." This thousand-line poem comes from the end of the 8th century bce. Most generally it is a hymn to Zeus, king of gods and men, but it encompasses the origin of the world (cosmogony) and of the other gods. I As will be conventional in epic poetry hereafter, the work begins with honor to the Muses the sources of inspiration for the arts and branches of learning, and "daughters of Zeus" (56). Because Hesiod is introduced as having been visited by the Muses at the foot of Mount Helicon, Helicon becomes synonymous with poetic inspiration in the Western literary tradition forever after. Hesiod presents himself as a shepherd, always a pleasant symbol of benevolent and unpretentious leadership. The Muses make Hesiod aware that "we know how to tell many falsehoods that seem real: but we also know how to speak truth when we wish to" (53). So how much truth do myths contain? (That's the first question, embedded here, in the history of literary criticism.) Because the Greeks had no authorized "sacred" text, there was no fixed myth but rather a host of variations. II "Chaos" or a "yawning void" comes into being and then female and male principles and aspects of nature. At first things generate spontaneously but soon a more abstract sexuality takes over. Gaea and Uranus produce twelve Titans six male and six female and then incest is responsible for more beings. For much more detail concerning the generations of the Greek gods, click

59. Hesiod - History For Kids! Hesiod is one of the first Greek writers whose work has survived. He wrote probably around 700 BC, during the Greek Archaic period. http://www.historyforkids.org/learn/greeks/literature/hesiod.htm

Hesiod for Kids - an Archaic Greek writer Hesiod M. L. West once claimed that "Greece is part of Asia; Greek literature is a Near Eastern literature" (Theogony, p. 31). This is more true of some genres (types) of Greek literature than it is of others, and naturally it is more true of the older Greek literature than it is of the later stuff. Hesiod is one of the first Greek writers whose work has survived. He wrote probably around 700 BC , during the Greek Archaic period. It is not clear whether he wrote before or after Homer . Two big pieces of writing survive: one is called the Theogony and the other is called the Works and Days. We know very little about Hesiod other than what you can see in these two works. In the Theogony, Hesiod describes the beginning of the world and the birth of the gods . In the Works and Days, he describes the life of a farmer (a pretty wealthy farmer) in Greece at this time.
