It's an original and important argument, and everyone working on archaic Greece will need to read this and take it into consideration."Ian Morris, author of Archaeology as Cultural History DESCRIPTION (back to top) In Works and Days, one of the two long poems that have come down to us from Hesiod, the poet writes of farming, morality, and what seems to be a very nasty quarrel with his brother Perses over their inheritance. In this book, Anthony T. Edwards extracts from the poem a picture of the social structure of Ascra, the hamlet in northern Greece where Hesiod lived, most likely during the seventh century b.c.e. Drawing on the evidence of trade, food storage, reciprocity, and the agricultural regime as Hesiod describes them in Works and Days

THEOGONY By Hesiod (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, you 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.

Banks (London: George Bell and Sons, 1897), 82-84. But when earth had covered this race also, again Zeus, son of Cronus, wrought yet another, a fourth, on the many-nourishing ground, more just and more worthy, a godlike race of hero-men, who are called by the former age demi-gods over the boundless earth. And these baneful war, as well as the dire battle-din, destroyed, a part fighting before seven-gated Thebes, in the Cadmean land, for the flocks of Oedipus, and part also in ships beyond the vast depths of the sea, when it led them to Troy for fair-haired Helen’s sake. There indeed the end of death enshrouded them; but to them Zeus, the son of Cronus, their sire, having given life and settlements apart from men, made them to dwell at the confines of earth, afar from the immortals. Among these Cronus rules. And they indeed dwell with careless sport in the Isles of the Blest, beside deep-eddying Ocean; blest heroes, for whom thrice in a year doth the fertile soil bear blooming fruits as sweet as honey. Would that then I had not mingled with the fifth race of men, but had either died before, or been born afterward. For now in truth is the iron race, neither will they ever cease by day, nor at all by night, from toil and wretchedness, corrupt

FROM THE LOEB CLASSICAL LIBRARY TRANSLATED BY H. G. EVELYN-WHITE Homeric Hymns. Epic Cycle. Homerica Hesiod Herodotus considered the "Theogony" of Hesiod to be the only coherent account of Greek theology to survive from early times. A veritable pageant of the divine world, it recounts, in rich complexity, the rise of the primeval gods and the universe from Chaos, the triumph of Zeus, and the history-making interaction of gods and mortals. In closing the poet calls upon the Muses to sing of the "tribe of women," an invocation that links this work to the "Catalogue of Women" (a poem preserved only in part), which focuses on the illustrious heroines of mythology and their children in successive generations to track the descent of the Greek people. This volume also includes the 33 Hymns addressed to individual gods that were traditionally ascribed to Homer. Index 712 pages Hardcover edition December 1969 ISBN 0-674-99063-3

from Hesiod's Theogony Zeus Outwits Prometheus The Creation of Women For when the gods and mortal men fell to disputing at Mekone, Prometheus, acting in a spirit of kindness, divided and dished up a great ox, deceiving the mind of Zeus. On the one side he put the flesh and the rich and fat inner parts hidden under the skin, concealed in the paunch of the ox; on the other side he put the ox's white bones, arranging them well with skillful deception, concealed in silvery fat. Then the Father of Gods and of Men addressed him as follows: "Son of Iapetos, lord surpassing all others in glory, ah my good fellow, how very unfairly you make this division!" Thus did Zeus, whose plans are unfailing, chidingly speak. And Prometheus, the clever deviser, made him this answer, gently smiling the while and mindful of skillful deception: "Zeus, most glorious and greatest of gods eternally living, choose for yourself of these helpings the one that your heart desires." Thus he spoke with deceit, but Zeus, whose plans are unfailing, saw through the trick and wasn't deceived, but planned in his heart

92. Portland State's Greek Civ For Kids One of the greatest poets of the ancient Greek civilization was Hesiod. Hesiod, his father, and his brother lived in Asia Minor, on the coast of Turkey. http://www.historyforkids.org/greekciv/arts/literature/hesiod/hesiod.htm

Back to Main Page One of the greatest poets of the ancient Greek civilization was Hesiod. He is thought to have lived around the eighth century B.C. He was a very well known poet in his time, especially for his genealogy work. He was a simple man, living the life of a middle class farmer when he wrote his poetry. Hesiod, his father , and his brother lived in Asia Minor , on the coast of Turkey. Hesiod's father found merchant life hard, so he traveled from Ryme in Aiolia, to Askra, which is in the territory of Thespiai. His father stayed in Askra and became a farmer . When Hesiod's father died in Askra, he left his land to his two sons, Perses and Hesiod. In the Works and Days , Hesiod talks about how his brother Perses was greedy because Perses talked to the "kings", or barons of the land, to convince them to give him a bigger portion of the land. The barons did give Perses more land than his brother got. As time went on after Hesiod's death, the Greeks passed on several vivid and probably fictional stories about his death . One story of Hesiod's death was that he beat Homer in a poetry contest. At the place where the contest was held, he committed adultery with the host of the contest's sister. When he had relations with the sister, he got her pregnant. The child, Stesichours, was also a poet, obtaining his abilities from his father. When Hesiod got her pregnant, the host found out, killing Hesiod and throwing his body into the sea. Dolphins found Hesiod's body and brought him ashore.
