Hesiod's Theogony: From Near Eastern Creation Myths to Paradise Lost
Scully, Stephen (Associate Professor, Associate Professor, Boston University)
Stephen Scully offers a reading of Hesiod's Theogony and an account of the poem's classical and post-classical reception up to Milton's Paradise Lost. He proposes that the poem be read as a hymn to Zeus and a city-state creation myth, and discusses Hesiod's artful narrative style in relation to Homer's.
