Thursday, August 25 ~ Oh muses! Help us read Hesiod!

Let's get into Theogony!

First, let's share those definitions.

As we dig into Theogony, here are some guiding Questions:
Journal 6: Theogony (lines 1-210)


  1. What is Hesiod setting up his poem to be about according to his intro?
  2. What Greek values can we infer in the way the muses are viewed and glorified?
  3. How would you describe the birth of the cosmos? (lines 104-153)
  4. Why do you think Hesiod is constantly mentioning weather a "child" was conceived/born sexually or asexually? 
  5. What does Aphrodite's origin say about who she will be? What do her names reveal? 

HW: Start Theogony (only first 210 lines tonight) and do Journal 6.
