Abstract

Hesiod was an ancient Greek poet known principally for one of his two surviving epic poems: Theogony, written sometime around 700 BCE to relate the mythology of the gods. Reproduced here are excerpts from parts 1 and 9. The epic tradition in Greece constructed mythologies in a systematic attempt to understand the world, laying the groundwork for tragedy, philosophy, history, and science.
