Firmin Hesiodi Carmina Theogonia -- Scutum Herculis -- Opera et Dies. Produced by Carolus Raeticus "Hesiodi Carmina" by Hesiod is a collection of ancient Greek poems written in the 8th century BC. The compilation includes significant works such as "Theogony," which outlines the origins and genealogies of the Greek gods, and "Works and Days," which offers moral teachings and agricultural advice. The collection delves into themes of creation, divinity, and the human experience from a mythological perspective, making it foundational in classical literature. The opening of the work begins with an invocation to the Muse, asking for inspiration to sing of the heavenly origin and functions of gods and their creation. It introduces key figures, including the primordial deities such as Chaos and Gaia, and recounts the birth of the gods, their powers, and intricate familial relationships. Through rich poetic verses, Hesiod sets the stage for exploring cosmic order and the struggles between divine beings, and emphasizes the significance of the Muses in imparting knowledge and memory to humanity. The tone is both reverent and informative, inviting readers into the vast and complex world of Greek mythology.
