Hesiod's cosmos /Jenny Strauss Clay. - 1 online resource (xii, 202 pages) :digital, PDF file(s).

Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).

Introducton -- Orientations : the Theogony -- Orientations : the Works and days -- Overtures -- The origins and nature of mankind -- The two Prometheuses -- Perspectives on gods and men -- Hybrids -- Conclusion : Hesiod and Calchas at Aulis.

Hesiod's Cosmos offers a comprehensive interpretation of both the Theogony and the Works and Days and demonstrates how the two Hesiodic poems must be read together as two halves of an integrated whole embracing both the divine and the human cosmos. After first offering a survey of the structure of both poems, Professor Clay reveals their mutually illuminating unity by offering detailed analyses of their respective poems, their teachings on the origins of the human race and the two versions of the Prometheus myth. She then examines the role of human beings in the Theogony and the role of the gods in the Works and Days, as well as the position of the hybrid figures of monsters and heroes within the Hesiodic cosmos and in relation to the Hesiodic Catalogue of Women.
