*Hesiod's Creation Myth* Hesiod tells his version of Creation in the Theogeny . Hesiod says that "In truth at first Chaos came to be." That statement seems to be a little, um, lacking, since Chaos means the lack of order - or, in other words - nothing was there yet. So, moving on. Next he says, came Gaia Now comes the lovey-dovey stuff. Nyx and Erebus find themselves (mostly) alone in the dark together . . . and well . . . then there started a whole new era of Creation. Their first children were Aether (personification of the Upper Air, think atmosphere) and Hemera (the personification of day). Then Gaia managed to give birth to Pontus (the Sea) and Uranus (not the planet - it means, essentially, Heaven) to cover her completely (I told you Eros was important). Then Gaia and Uranus got it on, and the first real Gods were born. They were called the Titans and there were 12 or 14 of them, and they all married to each other and had lots of kids, and Cronos (the youngest boy) and Rhea (the youngest girl) had what YOU know as the Olympian Gods. Think Zeus, Hera and Hades. So after a lot of trouble, there they all were! There were actually a lot other things created as well in Hesiod's version (like the Cyclopes and the Hundred-Armed Giants), but it's not very long, and if you're really interested then you can read it for yourself

Rhetorical Strategies of Poetic Authority Elsewhere, I have discussed the distinction Homer makes, especially in the Odyssey, between the songs of bards and other storytelling . This argument rests especially on three insights in recent books that appear to point in quite opposite directions. First, Andrew Ford shows in Homer: the Poetry of the Past how the Odyssey evades the reality of the transmission of poetic tradition as well as that of bardic contests . The Muses simply replace poets' teachers; the narrative content of performance has no naturalistic source. Douglas Olson, in contrast, has shown in Blood and Iron how richly the same epic depicts the workings of everyday oral tradition, its considerable interest in how news gets around . Third, Louise Pratt has shown how limited are the truth-claims of early Greek poetry, and how much closer it is to accepted fiction than scholars have tended to assume There are radically different rhetorical approaches available to Greek poets for managing the problem of poetry as public discourse and establishing poetic authority. At one extreme, Homeric epic claims that song derives directly from the Muse, depending neither on the occasion nor on human report, for any secular transmission would introduce the possibility that particular needs and interests have affected the tale. Hesiod in the Theogony likewise denies any connection between the occasion of a performance and its contents. The poem does not specify its audience, and the poet never addresses the audience.. Hesiod explicitly separates the contents of his performance from its occasion, saying that the Muses told him to sing theogonic poetry when he was initiated on Mt. Helicon (33). The here-and-now performance depends on that command then. The claim to be independent of occasion may well be disingenuous, for West as argued, the Theogony we have looks as if it is a version specifically created for the funeral games of Amphidamas.

Hesiod (c. 850 BC-) 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 Heicon in the age of Pausanias Theogony W. and D. 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 lii. 96; Pausanias ix. 31); his remains were removed for burial by command of the Deiphic 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.

Hesiod (8th century BC) Together with Homer, this poet is considered the earliest known writer in the Western world. He was born in Boeotia, but after his father died he settled in Naupaktos. According to a legend, Hesiod met the Muses while herding his animals on M. Helicon. They told him to narrate "the present, the past and what is to come". Hesiod lived as a farmer for most of his life, and his work Works and Days, is a poetic manual to correct life: one should be hard working, there the world is in moral decay which days one should do certain things on ones farm according to religious calendar. He described the history of the world in five phases or periods, starting with the Golden age until the evil Iron age. In his Theogony, Genealogy of the gods, he aspired to structure the Greek myths and described the creation of the world from chaos and the births and adventures of the gods. He counted to 30000 divine beings. In the lost work Catalogue of Women, he wrote about the exploits of the heroes whose mothers were mortal women.

HESIOD (fl. 8th Cent. B.C.) H esiod was the Greek poet who occupies a unique place in Greek literature both for his moral precepts and for his highly personal tone . Hesiod was born in Ascra , Boeotia (now Palaioppanagia). After the death of his father, he settled in Naupactus . There, as in his youth, he tended sheep and led the life of a farmer . Except for what Hesiod reveals of himself in his poetry, little is definitely known of his life. Modern scholars place him in the same period of Greek literature as Homer . His first poem, the Theogony (Genealogy of the Gods), is a poem in which the large and amorphous body of Greek myths is systematized and expanded to include the newer divinities unknown in the Homeric poems. The Theogony recounts the creation of the world out of chaos , the birth of the gods , and descriptions of their adventures . The closing portion contains a list of the daughters of Zeus , the father of the gods, and mortal women. It forms the introduction to a lost poem, the Catalogue of Women , which in the fragments that survive traces the exploits of heroes born to mortal women Hesiod is also credited with composing Works and Days the earliest example of didactic poetry —that is, poetry meant to be instructive rather than entertaining. The work reflects Hesiod's experiences as a Boeotian farmer and is interspersed with many episodes of

Dr. Weevil Main October 29, 2002 Blowback From 'Hesiod' Poor 'Hesiod' whines (10/29, 11:15:59 AM) that I "didn't bother" linking to him in yesterday's post . It would have been less bother to link than to put in the dates and times, but I have a policy of not linking to lying weasels. Of course, he doesn't bother to answer any of my objections to his argument. Now he writes: The act of Fellatio, between two consenting adults, can be quite fun. That's certainly good to know. After a brief (and welcome) excursus explaining that his marital relations are none of our business, he continues: If anything, it symbolizes a total and complete submission to another individual [or, more abstractly, an idea or cause]. Apparently poor Hesiod thinks of fellatio only as a way for the suckee to dominate the sucker (to put it crudely). That he still thinks it "quite fun" is disturbing, to say the least. The idea that some might like to give or receive fellatio (or cunnilingus) in a spirit of sharing or tenderness or love, or because they find that particular form of stimulation particularly stimulating, doesn't seem to have occurred to him. With 'Hesiod', it's all about domination and submission. If he ever hears about the "69" position, he will probably blow (if you'll excuse the pun) a mental gasket: how can A be dominating a submissive B while simultaneously submitting to a dominant A? It's like an M.C. Escher staircase, which goes down (sorry) in both directions! Among many other hilariously stoopid things, he also writes:

Home Epic of Gilgamesh Homer Hesiod Sappho Beowulf Gogol, Nikolai Dostoevsky, Fyodor ... Reading List Hesiod (8th Century BC) Hesiod was a Greek poet who lived sometime in the 8th century BC. Almost nothing is known about Hesiod himself, except that he probably lived in the Boeotian district of Greece, where he was a farmer. Hesiod wrote two major surviving works: Theogony and Works and Days . The first deals with the creation of the world and gives what Hesiod considers to be the genealogy, history and lives of the Greek gods. It is one of the earliest and best sources on the religious beliefs of the ancient Greeks. His other major poem, Works and Days , is where the stories of Prometheus and Pandora come from. This poem explains why people must work hard in spite of the goodness of Zeus. Another smaller poem written by Hesiod is The Shield of Heracles . This was written in the style of an epic, and tells of a great battle in which Heracles fights against Kyknos. Structure of Theogony Works and Days Theogony Shield of Heracles

57. CONTEST OF HOMER AND HESIOD Everyone boasts that the most divine of poets, Homer and Hesiod, are said to be his particular countrymen. Hesiod, indeed, has put http://www.homer.com.mx/Homeric_Hymns_and_Homerica/CONTEST_HOMER_AND_HESIOD.html

OF THE ORIGIN OF HOMER AND HESIOS, AND OF THEIR CONTEST Margites As to his parents also, there is on all hands great disagreement. Hellanicus and Cleanthes say his father was Maeon, but Eugaeon says Meles; Callicles is for Mnesagoras, Democritus of Troezen for Daemon, a merchant-trader. Some, again, say he was the son of Thamyras, but the Egyptians say of Menemachus, a priest-scribe, and there are even those who father him on Telemachus, the son of Odysseus. As for his mother, she is variously called Metis, Cretheis, Themista, and Eugnetho. Others say she was an Ithacan woman sold as a slave by the Phoenicians; other, Calliope the Muse; others again Polycasta, the daughter of Nestor. Homer himself was called Meles or, according to different accounts, Melesigenes or Altes. Some authorities say he was called Homer, because his father was given as a hostage to the Persians by the men of Cyprus; others, because of his blindness; for amongst the Aeolians the blind are so called. We will set down, however, what we have heard to have been said by the Pythia concerning Homer in the time of the most sacred Emperor Hadrian. When the monarch inquired from what city Homer came, and whose son he was, the priestess delivered a response in hexameters after this fashion: "Do you ask me of the obscure race and country of the heavenly siren? Ithaca is his country, Telemachus his father, and Epicasta, Nestor"s daughter, the mother that bare him, a man by far the wisest of mortal kind." This we must most implicitly believe, the inquirer and the answerer being who they are — especially since the poet has so greatly glorified his grandfather in his works.

59. HESIOD Hesiod, the father of Greek didactic poetry, probably flourished during the 8th century BC His father had migrated from the Aeolic Cyme in Asia Mino. Hesiod. http://16.1911encyclopedia.org/H/HE/HESIOD.htm

HESIOD HESIOD The only other poem which has come down to us under Hesiods name is the Shield of Heracles, the opening verses of which are attributed by a nameless grammarian to the fourth book of Eoiai. The theme of the piece is the expedition of Heracles and lolaus against the robber Cycnus; but its main object apparently is to describe the shield of Heracles (141-317). It is clearly an imitation of the Homeric account of the shield of Achilles (Iliad, XViii. 479) and is now generally considered spurious. Titles and fragments of other lost poems of Hesiod have come down to us: didactic, as the Maxims of Clzeiron; genealogical, as the Aegimius, describing the contest of that mythical ancestor of the Dorians with the Lapithae; and mythical, as the Marriage of Ceyx and the Descent of Theseus to Hades. Recent editions of Hesiod include the Aythv Oui~poj Ical Hcrtiov, the contest of song between Homer and Hesiod at the funeral games held in honor of King Amphidamas at Chalcis. This little tract belongs to the time of Hadrian, who is actually mentioned as having been present during its recitation, but is founded on an earlier account by the sophist Alcidamas (q.v.). Quotations (old and new) are made from the works of both poets, and, in spite of the sympathies of the audience, the judge decides in favor of Hesiod. Certain biographical details of Homer and Hesiod are also given. A strong characteristic of Hesiods style is his sententious and proverbial philosophy (as in Works and Days, 24-2 5, 40, 218, ,45, 371). There is naturally less of this in the Theogony, yet there too not a few sentiments take the form of the saw or adage. He has undying fame as the first of didactic poets (see DIDACTIC POETRY), the accredited systematizer of Greek mythology and the rough but not unpoetical sketcher of the lines on which Virgil wrought out his exquisitely finished Georgics.
