    Extractions: 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

Little is known of his life, however, except for the few scant references he makes to his family's origin and to a quarrel over property with his brother. His most famous poem, the didactic Works and Days, is an epic of Greek rural life, filled with caustic advice for his brother and maxims for farmers to pursue. The “days” are days lucky or unlucky for particular tasks. Works and Days discourses on the mythic “five races” (i.e., the five ages) of humans; the Golden Age, ruled by Kronos, a period of serenity, peace, and eternal spring; the Silver Age, ruled by Zeus, less happy, but with luxury prevailing; the Bronze Age, a period of strife; the Heroic Age of the Trojan War; and the Iron Age, the present, when justice and piety had vanished. Hesiod's systemization, especially the idealized Golden Age, became deeply entrenched in the Western imagination and was expanded upon by Ovid. Also ascribed to him are the

    Extractions: 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.

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.

From their shoulders sprang an hundred arms, not to be approached, and each had fifty heads upon his shoulders on their strong limbs, and irresistible was the stubborn strength that was in their great forms. For of all the children that were born of Earth and Heaven, these were the most terrible, and they were hated by their own father from the first. (ll. 453-491) But Rhea was subject in love to Cronos and bare splendid children, Hestia (18), Demeter, and gold-shod Hera and strong Hades, pitiless in heart, who dwells under the earth, and the loud-crashing Earth-Shaker, and wise Zeus, father of gods and men, by whose thunder the wide earth is shaken. These great Cronos swallowed as each came forth from the womb to his mother's knees with this intent, that no other of the proud sons of Heaven should hold the kingly office amongst the deathless gods. For he learned from Earth and starry Heaven that he was destined to be overcome by his own son, strong though he was, through the contriving of great Zeus (19). Therefore he kept no blind outlook, but watched and swallowed down his children: and unceasing grief seized Rhea.

The Works and Days is a combination of a farmer's almanac, myth and didactic poetry (poetry which instructs). Didatic or wisdom poetry come out of the Near Eastern tradition, cf. Gilgamesh and Uta-napishti. In this poem, Hesiod address his instruction to his greedy brother Perses. This poem includes two creation myths: the myth of ages and the creation of Pandora. We will focus on these. The five ages story will set up for us the Greek notions of "hero", heroic epic and heroic cult. The Pandora story will help us think about notions of Golden Age/State of Nature (which will be a concern also when we reach the

His surviving works are the Theogony , relating to the stories of the gods, and the Works and Days , relating to peasant life. The latter is a personal address to Hesiod's brother, Perses, whom he urges to practice a life of honest hard work through examples of mythic stories that illustrate the need for virtue. "The Age of Iron" deplores man's quest for power and wealth and argues that communities must worship Justice (Zeus's favorite daughter) above all other virtues. Hesiod's poetry includes passages critical of those aristoi who support themselves on the labors of others rather than through their own exertions.

    Extractions: Main Page Links Articles Poetry Texts (From the Wikipedia , then modified by me): Hesiod is believed to have lived around the year 700 B.C. From the 5th century B.C.E. there was lively debate about the priority of Hesiod or Homer. Most modern scholarship agrees that Homer lived before Hesiod, though M.L. West believes Hesiod came earlier based on internal evidence and archeology. Just because Hesiod was a less skilled poet than Homer does not mean he came later. Hesiod lived in Boeotia and 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. He also tells us in the "Works and Days" that he was on the losing end of lawsuits with his brother Perses over their inheritance, though it is possible Perses is a literary creation, a foil for the moralizing of the poem. The two surviving poems accepted as authentic are the "Theogony" and the "Works and Days." The "Catalog of Women" which follows the "Theogony" may have much that is Hesiod. The "Theogony" concerns the origins of the world and the gods. "Works and Days" is a poem of advice and wisdom, prescribing a life of honest work and attacking idleness and unjust judges (like those who decided in the favor of Perses). Hesiod is a major source both for knowledge of Greek mythology, farming techniques and for archaic Greek astronomy and time-keeping. A commentary on the "Theogony" is progress (Dec 2003), and will appear as I work my way through that text myself. The first commentary will appear when I finish the proem (lines 1-115).
