  • Hesiod Theogony.Pdf
    Hesiod (8th or 7th c. BC, composed in Greek) The Homeric epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey, are probably slightly earlier than Hesiod’s two surviving poems, the Works and Days and the Theogony. Yet in many ways Hesiod is the more important author for the study of Greek mythology. While Homer treats cer- tain aspects of the saga of the Trojan War, he makes no attempt at treating myth more generally. He often includes short digressions and tantalizes us with hints of a broader tra- dition, but much of this remains obscure. Hesiod, by contrast, sought in his Theogony to give a connected account of the creation of the universe. For the study of myth he is im- portant precisely because his is the oldest surviving attempt to treat systematically the mythical tradition from the first gods down to the great heroes. Also unlike the legendary Homer, Hesiod is for us an historical figure and a real per- sonality. His Works and Days contains a great deal of autobiographical information, in- cluding his birthplace (Ascra in Boiotia), where his father had come from (Cyme in Asia Minor), and the name of his brother (Perses), with whom he had a dispute that was the inspiration for composing the Works and Days. His exact date cannot be determined with precision, but there is general agreement that he lived in the 8th century or perhaps the early 7th century BC. His life, therefore, was approximately contemporaneous with the beginning of alphabetic writing in the Greek world. Although we do not know whether Hesiod himself employed this new invention in composing his poems, we can be certain that it was soon used to record and pass them on.

  • 1 Rubaiyat Khan 21H.301 Hesiod's Moral Teachings on Living In
    1 Rubaiyat Khan 21H.301 Hesiod’s Moral Teachings on Living In Hesiod’s poem “Works and Days”, he explains to his brother how to live a good life. He describes both moral and practical ways of leading life. However, his emphasis lies on the moral teachings rather than the practical ones. One of the overarching themes of his work is the importance of being just in life. Hesiod believes that Zeus and the other almighty immortal Gods punish immoral men and reward moral ones. Therefore, men must not be unjust or unkind to one another. Some of his teachings are clearly moral For example, he mentions the importance of treating one’s parents well multiple times in the poem. Hesiod’s obsession with justice and morality can be inferred from this importance that he places on taking care of ones parents. To him, being disrespectful to ones aging parents is unjust and unfair because parents take care of their children when the children are young and unable to take care of themselves. Thus it is only fair and just to the parents that the children take care of them when they are too old to fend for themselves. Hesiod believes that it is not only justice that Zeus asks of people. He describes other criminal acts that he believes will make Zeus angry. He mentions wickedness, violence, seizing someone else’s property, being ungracious to a guest, adultery and cheating orphans as examples of other crimes that warrant Zeus’ wrath. “But for those who occupy themselves with violence and wickedness and brutal deeds, Kronos’ son, wide-seeing Zeus, marks out retribution.

  • Marvel Magic Race Human (0 CP): Good Old Homo Sapiens. Much The
    Marvel Magic Race Human (0 CP): Good old homo sapiens. Much the same as they are on pretty much everywhere. Individually they are rather insignificant physically and are generally nothing too impressive mentally or magically either, but earth and humanity play many pivotal roles on both the universal and multiversal scale, often ending up center stage – or right in the eye of the storm. And just because most of them are nothing impressive doesn’t mean that none of them are, as some humans are incredibly formidable even amongst the powerful beings of this world. Demon (200 CP): Demon isn’t a term meant to describe one uniform group of beings. Rather, it encompasses an incredibly diverse range of magical beings. Your appearance is largely up to you, allowing you to appear as anything from living flame to a classical demon with horns and bat wings to basically human or even something more bizarre such as a multi-headed snake. The only restriction is your base size must be between that of a squirrel and an average car. Your nature means that you’re likely to be at least several times stronger than a human as well as having natural talent with magic and more personal power to call on than humans. If you wish, you may instead choose to be the offspring of a demon and a human, with your natural form appearing to be a human but possessing the ability to take on more demoniac features when calling on your power or feeling anger. God (400): Perhaps the decadent gods of Olympus, the fierce warrior deities of Asgard, or perhaps completely alien gods worshipped by beings on other worlds.

The Goddess: Myths of the Great Mother Description The Goddess is all around us: Her face is reflected in the burgeoning new growth of every ensuing spring; her power is evident in the miracle of conception and childbirth and in the newborn’s cry as it searches for the nurturing breast; we glimpse her in the alluring beauty of youth, in the incredible power of sexual attraction, in the affection of family gatherings, and in the gentle caring of loved ones as they leave the mortal world. The Goddess is with us in the everyday miracles of life, growth, and death which always have surrounded us and always will, and this ubiquity speaks to the enduring presence and changing masks of the universal power people have always recognized in their lives.

Viking art, Snorri Sturluson and some recent metal detector finds. Fornvännen 113. Stockholm. This paper seeks to contribute to a recent debate on the use of private metal detect- ing and its value within archaeology. Specifically it explores – by presenting some recently found Viking Period artefacts from Denmark – how private metal detect- ing can contribute to our understanding of Viking minds. By bringing together the myths as related by Snorri Sturluson in the early 13th century with the artefacts, I argue that thanks to private metal detecting through the last decades, our ability to recognise Viking art as narrative art has improved substantially.
