Thank you for this lecture. It was very informative. I always thought Hesiod got something like short shrift in the popular idea of the Greeks, when so much is made of Homer.

Great lecture. I hate how everything is "myth" and have since I heard a teacher say it in grade 6. I thought, how arrogant that you think you are better than your ancient elders.

isn't rather late 700's- to mid 600's?

Possible, I'm not sure -- I don't claim to have authoritative knowledge in this area :) This is a synthesis of a few different sources -- I believe the dates I used are the ones provided by Athanassakis in his translation.

I think there is something wrong with the dating: 8th century BC is 700.01 to 799.9 so if this is correct he could not have been born in the year 820; that would be 9th century. I am willing to accept your argument against this, if logical

Question: How do we know that later authors removed from Hesiod's writings?
@professorrsp96496 жыл бұрын
That's a good question! I'm not an expert on the textual history, but my understanding is that some texts are fragmentary, suggesting that sections are missing. Also, comparing the vocabulary in different sections can reveal where later authors changed the texts through the language used.

Zeus wasn’t imported. These people who gradually came to Greece brought him there.
