Abstract:

This volume brings together twenty-nine junior and senior scholars to discuss aspects of Hesiod’s poetry and its milieu and to explore questions of reception over two and half millennia, from shortly after the poems’ conception to Twitter hashtags. Rather than an exhaustive survey of Hesiodic themes, the Handbook is conceived as a guide through terrain, some familiar, other less charted, examining both Hesiodic craft and later engagements with Hesiod’s stories of the gods and moralizing proscriptions of just human behavior. The volume is divided into four sections: “Hesiod in Context,” “Hesiod

Abstract:

Hesiod’s Theogony provides one of the most widely authoritative accounts of the origin of the cosmos, but his account has always been challenged by rivals claiming to be older, wiser, and better, and the name of Orpheus has always been privileged in the evidence for ancient rivals to Hesiod. The Orphic accounts play their variations on the Hesiodic themes, riffing in different ways on the idea of the ultimate origin of the cosmos; the processes of reproduction by which subsequent entities were generated; the conflicts between these divinities that created the changes from the original state to

Abstract:

This chapter uses Callimachus’s Aetia, Aratus’s Phaenomena, and Nicander’s Theriaca to explore the intense engagement with Hesiodic poetry in the Hellenistic period. Informed by statistics for explicit references to Hesiod at this time, it asks: Why is this the only period of antiquity in which the Theogony and the Works and Days are considered equally important? Questions of genre and didaxis, of inspiration and knowledge, are set against a backdrop of learned library culture, in order to determine what it really meant in the Hellenistic age to be a scholar-poet. This chapter draws on a recen

Abstract:

This chapter explores the influence of Hesiod’s Theogony on Greek visual artists of the archaic period (ca. 700–480 bce). Since dozens of divinities and heroes mentioned in the poem appear in sculpture and (more often) vase painting and cannot be systematically treated, one major work with strong Hesiodic associations is examined as a test case. The Attic black-figure dinos signed by the painter Sophilos and dated ca. 580 bce includes more than thirty gods and goddesses participating in the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, future parents of Achilles. All of these can be found in the Theogony, and

Abstract:

In this interpretation of the Theogony and Works and Days as acts of performance, the well-known biographical details of Hesiod’s life are treated as part of an authorial persona that inheres in the situation that the poem represents. The singer’s dispute with his brother Perses is not a reality outside the poem; rather, it is created, and settled, in and through the poem. The chapter examines the deictic markers through which the poems achieve their “performative” effects. A comparison with Homer is offered in which Hesiod is aligned with the mimetic representation of drama, as opposed to the

Abstract:

This chapter examines the reception of Hesiod in ancient Greek and Roman philosophy, from Aristotle to Posidonius. The discussion focuses on the contributions of the Peripatetics, Epicureans, and Stoics, the only philosophical schools within this period for which the author has found evidence of Hesiodic reception. Two Hesiodic passages above all seem to have captured the attention of these philosophers: the genesis of the primordial divinities in Theogony and the Myth of Ages, especially the golden age in Works and Days. Granted the importance of these passages and their provision of one unif

Abstract:

This chapter attempts to address the so-called Hesiodic Question: who was Hesiod, when and where did he live, what poems did he compose, and in what order? After a brief overview of ancient thoughts on these matters, modern views are briefly discussed, with particular attention to the several scholarly approaches to the dating of the Hesiodic poems. Most of these converge on the beginning of the seventh century bce. Another focus is on Hesiod’s supposed autobiographical remarks in the Theogony and Works and Days. Whether or not Hesiod was a historical person, his poems are characterized by a d

This chapter examines Hesiodic elements in Pindar’s “First Hymn” and Pythian 1 and appropriations of Hesiod’s “path to virtue” in the epinicians. Differences between Pindar’s treatment of Zeus’s marriage and cosmic dispensations in the “First Hymn” and Hesiod’s account articulate a greater emphasis on cosmic order and create an identification between the audience’s response to the poem and that of the gods to the newly created cosmos. In Pythian 1 Pindar’s ekphrasis of Etna presents a picture of Typhon who is more constrained and integrated into the cosmic order than his counterpart in the The

Abstract:

This chapter traces the reception of the Works and Days and Theogony in various media throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, including film, television, video games, novels, essays, illustrations, and children’s literature. It argues that the Theogony’s greater emphasis on extended narrative episodes—particularly the violent Titanomachy—has spawned a comparatively greater number of receptions, while the Works and Day’s didactic tone and structure have lent themselves more readily to adaptations that stress the environment and/or management.

Abstract:

The Theogony displays a preoccupation with poetic structure that reflects the cosmic and political structures that are its subject. Consequently the structures that support the poem change with the changing world it describes. In the earlier part of the poem the dominant poetic structure is the catalogue, and Hesiod goes far in showing what he can express with this form alone, particularly through juxtaposition, anachrony, allegory, and paradigmatic patterning. Narrative appears first as free elaboration on the genealogical framework but becomes a dominant poetic form in parallel with the emer

Abstract:

Temporality is an important aspect of the poetics of both the Theogony and the Works and Days. Hesiod’s temporality can be subdivided into different kinds of synchronic and diachronic temporalities: omnipresent, etiological, and teleological temporalities and seasonal (or kairological) and cyclical temporalities. Each of these modes has its own logic. Furthermore, Hesiod allows these temporal modes to interact with one another in complex and sometimes paradoxical ways. Hesiod views his cosmos as a permanent, stable reality that came into being through evolutionary and cyclical processes—the ve

Abstract:

The reception of Hesiod in the Byzantine age (fourth–fifteenth centuries ce) may be reconstructed on the basis of a range of different sources: the many codices transmitting the poet’s major works (the Theogony, Works and Days, and Shield of Herakles); commentaries from late antiquity (Proclus, fifth century), the middle Byzantine period (twelfth century) and the Palaeologan age (thirteenth–fourteenth centuries); and the presence of quotes and allusions in literary texts.

Abstract:

The Hesiodic view of the supernatural varies within individual compositions, in tune with oral-traditional poetic practice. The flexibility and dramatization inherent in the medium led ancient philosophers to treat Hesiod and Homer as deficient “theology.” Taken as religious fictions, with attention to their diction and devices, the Hesiodic poems are distinct from the Homeric in orientation toward and expressions about the divine world. The Theogony frames itself as a praise poem to Zeus but must downplay the self-interested character of such compositions. Zeus’s sovereignty is depicted in di

Abstract:

This study aims to define Hesiod’s place in early Greek intellectual history by exploring a network of issues related to language, knowledge, and authority in Hesiod’s Theogony and Works and Days. Part I demonstrates how much we can learn about the poet’s craft and his relation to the poetic tradition if we read his etymologies carefully. At the same time, Parts I and II together discuss aspects of the ‘correctness of language’: this correctness does not amount to a naïvely assumed one-to-one correspondence between signifier and signified. Correct names and correct language are ‘true’ because
