Line 29:
* [[Religion Is Magic]]: A considerable part of the text is a list of good and bad days for doing particular things.
* [[Robot Girl]]: Pandora.
* [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can]]: An [[Ur Example]] - the story of Pandora and her jar.
* [[Self-Made Man]]: This is the ideal which Perses should imitate, according to Hesiod.
* [[Sibling Rivalry]]: So epic it would be [[Cain and Abel]], if not for the fact that Perses is more stupid than really evil.
* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: The two [[Anthropomorphic Personification|Strifes]]. One of them (the Yang one) appears in the [[Theogony (Literature)|sister-poem]] of ''Works and Days'', describing in detail how blue her blood was; this supports Hesiod's stance that, actually, the evil goddess Strife is accompanied by the much nicer Ambition. This is the same trick that [[Plato]] used in ''[[Symposium (Literature)|Symposium]]'' to explain the difference between love and sex. (Perses and Hesiod themselves can also be seen as fitting the pattern.)
