http://www.sacred-texts.com/cla/hesiod

Extractions: Hesiod lived in the 8th century BCE, probably about the same time or shortly after Homer. 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.

Extractions: 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.

Misogyny In Nietzsche And Hesiod
Includes direct quotations from Friedrich Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil, and Hesiod's Works and Days.
http://www.angelfire.com/ri/tucker/relativism/morality33.html

Extractions: Direct quotations from Friedrich Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil , by section number. Woman learns how to hate to the extent that she unlearns how to charm. The same emotions in man and woman are, however, different in tempo: therefore man and woman never cease to misunderstand one another. Behind all their personal vanity women themselves always have their impersonal contempt for 'woman.' The tremendous expectation in regard to sexual love and the shame involved in this expectation distorts all a woman's perspectives from the start. Where neither love nor hate is in the game a woman is a mediocre player. Science offends the modesty of all genuine women. They feel as if one were trying to look under their skin or worse! under their clothes and finery. The sexes deceive themselves about one another: the reason being that fundamentally they love and honour only themselves (or their own ideal, to express it more pleasantly). Thus man wants woman to be peaceful but woman is essentially unpeaceful, like the cat, however well she may have trained herself to present an appearance of peace.

Hesiod - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
Hesiod. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Hesiod (Hesiodos) was an early Greek poet, believed to have lived around the year 700 BC.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hesiod

Extractions: Hesiod (Hesiodos) was an early Greek poet , believed to have lived around the year 700 BC . From the 5th century BC there was debate about the priority of Hesiod or Homer . Most modern scholarship agrees that Homer lived before Hesiod. Hesiod lived in Boeotia and regularly visited Mt Helicon , the mythological home of the Muses , who, he says, gave him the gift of poetic creation one day while he was out tending sheep. The few details of Hesiod's life come mostly from his own works. His poem Works and Days mentions that he lost a lawsuit with his brother Perses over their inheritance . However, some scholars have argued that Perses is a literary creation, a foil for the moralizing of the Works and Days . Another biographical detail Hesiod mentions is a poetry contest at Chalcis where he was awarded a tripod by the sons of one Amiphidamas (ll.654-662). Plutarch was the first to state that this was an interpolation into Hesiod's original work, based on his identification of Amiphidamas with the hero of the Lelantine War between Chalcis and Eretria , which occurred around 705 BC . This contest was the inspiration for the later tale of a competition between Hesiod and Homer. Two different, yet early, traditions record the site of his grave. One, as early as

The Theogony Of Hesiod
The Theogony of Hesiod. (4) Earth, in the cosmology of Hesiod, is a disk surrounded by the river Oceanus and floating upon a waste of waters.
http://www.sacred-texts.com/cla/hesiod/theogony.htm

Extractions: Sacred-Texts Classics Hesiod The Theogony of Hesiod translated by Hugh G. Evelyn-White (ll. 26-28) `Shepherds of the wilderness, wretched things of shame, mere bellies, we know how to speak many false things as though they were true; but we know, when we will, to utter true things.' (ll. 29-35) So said the ready-voiced daughters of great Zeus, and they plucked and gave me a rod, a shoot of sturdy laurel, a marvellous thing, and breathed into me a divine voice to celebrate things that shall be and things there were aforetime; and they bade me sing of the race of the blessed gods that are eternally, but ever to sing of themselves both first and last. But why all this about oak or stone? (2) (ll. 104-115) Hail, children of Zeus! Grant lovely song and celebrate the holy race of the deathless gods who are for ever, those that were born of Earth and starry Heaven and gloomy Night and them that briny Sea did rear. Tell how at the first gods and earth came to be, and rivers, and the boundless sea with its raging swell, and the gleaming stars, and the wide heaven above, and the gods who were born of them, givers of good things, and how they divided their wealth, and how they shared their honours amongst them, and also how at the first they took many-folded Olympus. These things declare to me from the beginning, ye Muses who dwell in the house of Olympus, and tell me which of them first came to be. (ll. 139-146) And again, she bare the Cyclopes, overbearing in spirit, Brontes, and Steropes and stubborn-hearted Arges (6), who gave Zeus the thunder and made the thunderbolt: in all else they were like the gods, but one eye only was set in the midst of their fore-heads. And they were surnamed Cyclopes (Orb-eyed) because one orbed eye was set in their foreheads. Strength and might and craft were in their works.
Homer - Free Online Library
Unattributed hypertext of narrative translations of the Iliad and Odyssey, as well as Homerica and works by Hesiod.
http://homer.thefreelibrary.com/

Extractions: Library Homer Dictionary Very little is known about Homer, including his birth and death dates. However, it is generally accepted that he lived during the period 900-800 B.C. His birthplace is in question some say Smyrna, others say Ionia. Too, in question, is whether or not he actually wrote the two major works that are traditionally ascribed to his name: The Iliad and The Odyssey The Iliad and The Odyssey are both epics: long, narrative poems that detail the deeds of a hero. The Iliad , based on oral traditions, is written about the Trojan War, specifically focusing on two soldiers: Akhilleus, representing the Greeks, and Hector, the hero of the Trojans. The Odyssey tells the story of Odysseus, King of Ithaka, who, while on his way home from the Trojan War, offends the sea god, Poseidon, and is doomed to another ten years of wandering before being able to return to his home and family. The Homeric Hymns , a series of short poems that honor the Greek gods, is also attributed to Homer. Prolegomena ad Homerum (The Homeric Problem) , published in 1795 and written by F. A. Wolf, began the debate that continues today. The book questions whether Homer ever existed and if the two epic poems could have been written by one person.
