Synopsis "Teogonía (Clásicos Dykinson) (in Spanish)"

La Teogonía es más que un poema sobre el origen de los dioses: es la explicación, inspirada por las Musas (tangibles y cercanas, como comprobó Hesíodo), del origen del universo, de los dioses y de los héroes en torno a los cuales entretejieron los griegos de la Antigüedad relatos, entre lo maravilloso y lo terrible, que explicaban su pasado remoto, su cultura y sus creencias. Junto con los poemas de Homero, la Teogonía enseñó a los griegos a nombrar (una forma de hacer vivir) a esos seres prodigiosos y a configurar su propio mundo. Es, sin duda, uno de los textos decisivos en la forja de la identidad del pueblo griego, que es como decir la de cada uno de nosotros.

Hesíodo

Hesiod was a Greek poet from Ancient Greece, born around the 8th century BC, in the region of Boeotia. He is mainly known for his two major works: Theogony, which narrates the origin of the gods and the cosmos, and Works and Days, a didactic work about peasant life, morality, and justice. Through his writings, Hesiod influenced Greek mythology and the moral vision of society. He is considered one of the first poets to use verse as a means to convey practical and religious wisdom. Although his exact life is little known, he is presented as a countryman, probably from a modest family, reflecting in his writings the daily hardships of agricultural work and teachings on virtue and effort.
