- W2204076738 abstract "SURF Conference Proceedings 2015 Who Would Have Ruled Over Immortal Gods and Men: The Preservation of Cosmic Order in Hesiod’s Theogony Cecily Manson | Classical Languages | Session 5A Professor Leslie Kurke, Classics and Comparative Literature In the proem of the Theogony , Hesiod invokes the Olympian Muses and asks that they: “. . . glorify the sacred race of immortals always being, those who were born from Gaia and starry Ouranos and dark Night, and those whom salty Pontos reared. And tell how in the first place the gods and earth were born and the rivers and the boundless sea, seething in its swell, and the shining stars and the broad sky above. and those who were born from them, the gods givers of good things, and how they divided the wealth and how they distributed their honors and also how first they came to possess many-folded Olympus. Tell me these things Muses holding Olympian homes from the beginning, and tell me which of them came to be first.” ( Th. 105-14) As you may know, the ancient Greeks practiced polytheistic religion; they prayed to a multitude of gods each of whom has his or her own individual powers and areas of dominion. They are organized and exercise their communal powers under the supreme leadership of the ruler Zeus, in the stable political order known as the Olympian pantheon. The Theogony is one of the many oral poems composed by the ancient Greeks to celebrate and propitiate these gods. Its composition is credited to Hesiod, a poet from the 8 th century BC thought to be roughly contemporary with Homer. The poet, Hesiod. I begin with Hesiod’s invocation of the Olympian Muses because it is an incredibly telling representation of both the compositional and thematic structure of the poem. It clearly outlines the project of the poem itself: to provide an account for the genesis of the gods and the establishment of the Olympian pantheon." @default.
