Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | As the Muses taught Hesiod, in the beginning there was Chaos - and indeed, this is one of the most chaotic texts in the world's literary canon. Written most probably in the 7th century in classical epic dactylic hexameter, Theogony is mainly a genealogical treatise with not a few elements of theological gossip about which god slept with whom and who was born as a result. 'Theogony' means 'The Origin of Gods', and it is Exactly What It Says on the Tin. Presenting the whole divine family on one genealogical tree is almost impossible, but the Greeks apparently had little problems with memorizing all the details, as numerous stories from Greek mythology are perfectly consistent with the version of events described in Theogony (though, to complicate things even more, there is also a rival version written by Pseudo-Apollodorus, known as The Library). |
