    Extractions: 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.

    Extractions: For each class, I suggest that you first read the assigned text "cold," using only the notes. Just go through it and let yourself be confused, if that happens. (None of the readings is all that long: most of them are under 20 pages; the few that are longer are easier reading.) Second , read the supplementary material, if any is assigned (passages from the "Introduction" and the like). Third , read the Background Material on this site. Fourth , reread the assigned text. Now you should understand it better and you should have answers to some of the questions that will have arisen in the course of your initial reading. Fifth , consult the Illustration and Study Questions site on the Web, and spend some time thinking about the issues raised there. As a general rule, for each class hour at Wesleyan, you are expected to spend three hours of preparation time. Thus, for each of our classes, which meet for an hour and 20 minutes, you should plan to spend about four hours in preparation time. For many classes, you will not need this much time. When you have time left over, you should spend it thinking about your paper, beginning a draft, and/or commenting on other students' papers.

    Extractions: Executive summary: Works and Days Hesiod's earliest poem, the famous Works and Days , and according to Boeotian testimony the only genuine one, embodies the experiences of his daily life and work, and, interwoven with episodes of fable, allegory, and personal history, forms a sort of Boeotian shepherd's calendar. 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

    Extractions: Hesiod Hesiodos ) was an early Greek poet and rhapsode who lived around 700 B.C.E. Often cited alongside his close contemporary Homer , Hesiod is one of the oldest poets in the Western canon, and the primary poet of the pastoral tradition. He is also the first poet to write didactic, or instructional, verses. Hesiod's poetry, composed before the invention of literacy, served a very practical purpose in his own time, acting as primary sources for religious instruction and agricultural knowledge. This makes Hesiod's poetry appear down-to-earth and pragmatically minded, concerned with how to live and what to do, in contrast to the epic adventures of his contemporaries. As with Homer, legendary traditions have accumulated around Hesiod. Unlike the case of Homer, however, some biographical details have survived: a few details of Hesiod's life come from three references in Works and Days ; some further inferences derive from his Theogony.

    Extractions: home index ancient Greece Hesiod (British Museum, London) Hesiod: legendary Greek poet, author of the Theogony and Works and Days In the mid-eighth century, a sailor settled at Ascra in Boeotia, where his son started to write a poem on farming, Works and days . The poet is usually called Hesiod, after another Boeotian poet, who had composed a primitive but systematic account of the history of the gods, full of dark forces, deities, and violence: the Theogony , which is influenced by Near Eastern myths about the rise and fall of the dynasties of gods. The ancients believed that both poems were written by the same man, but many modern classicists agree that the author of the Works and days was influenced by Homer , whereas the author of the Theogony , Hesiod, seems to have been Homer's contemporary. Both works are fascinating: the younger because of its superior style, the other because it offers an important introduction to Greek mythology. Several other texts were attributed to Hesiod, like the Catalogue of Women and Precepts of Chiron This brief article has been written to offer background information

    Extractions: 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
