Melissa Schubert: Hesiod's Poetic Theology as Homeric Context [Torrey Honors Lecture]

[@hannesthorsell3566]

The ages referred to are, in order, the Golden Age, the Silver Age, the Bronze Age, the Heroic Age, and finally the Iron age. So yes, there were five of them.

Admirable presentation. I always like to think that Fate (Μοιραι) give deserved reward or punishment as opposed to Hebrew (yod-he-vav-he) seemingly punishing at the whim, as in the Book of Job where the Deity afflicts Job at the instigation of HaSatan (השטך) and that is the Hebrew spelling in JOB 2:1. I also like to extend the meaning of γιγνομαι from its simple meaning of 'happening' or 'being' to its primitive meaning of 'being 'born into something' hence, fated to be, or fated to happen.

great lecture I'm glad this is available

Was a little confused by the lecturer's opening (since pronouncing the name /hesi:əd/ wouldn't actually make any sense, and the only way I can imagine she thought 'the fashion' was to say it this way is because the internet didn't know how to pronounce it), so I looked up Biola University. Yeah. Here's just a tidbit of what I found: 'Founded in 1908, Biola offers biblically centered education, intentional spiritual development and vocational preparation within a unique learning community where all faculty, staff and students are professing Christians.' I highly recommend looking elsewhere, dear viewer, for actual information.

Is this a real lecture? The whole time the teacher is talking like a dopey drunk and the "adults" in the class are giggling non stop. The teacher completely misinterprets Hesiod. There was no longing for pauls lies.

Three years later and I’m still waiting to watch your lecture on Hesiod. I am looking forward to your interpretation. So, get up from behind your keyboard and let’s see what profound utterances you can bestow upon us plebs who rather enjoyed that lecture. You’re well able to “talk the talk” with that little diatribe of yours, now “walk the walk”.

@@Patric_Sean it is Heracles of Olympus.

Greek mythology is similar to Mesoamerican, Polynesian, Asian, Hindu….demon half-humans tyrannizing man, seducing worship.
