Cow-eyed Hera Goddess of the Cycles of Nature and Preserver of the Essential Nature of All Beings

In this last issue of Classics Tutor for 2025, we delve into the profoundly ancient goddess, #Hera, Queen of the Gods, yes, but also a powerful, independent deity presiding over the cycles of nature.

Reading Hesiod’s “Theogony” one fine Chapman afternoon. Hesiod was the original “popularizer” of Greek Mythology, and his versions have been continuously in-print for thousands of years. #hesiod #theogony #greekmythology #heroesofolympus #chapmanu #dodgecollege #sagaftra #cesdtalent

“Keep these things in mind, bribe-swallowing #kings:
whoever wrongs another also wrongs himself;
an evil plan is most evil for the one who makes it.”

δωροφάγοι, σκολιέων δὲ δικέων ἐπὶ πάγχυ λάθεσθε.
οἷ αὐτῷ κακὰ τεύχει ἀνὴρ ἄλλῳ κακὰ τεύχων,
ἡ δὲ κακὴ βουλὴ τῷ βουλεύσαντι κακίστη. #Hesiod

“Badness you can get easily, in quantity; the road is smooth, and it lies close by, But in front of excellence the immortal gods have put sweat, and long and steep is the way to it.” Hesiod

This word did the Muses speak to me first of all:
“we know how to tell many lies resembling the truth; and we know, when we want, to utter what is true.”

Respect to the understanding that Pandora WAS the evil Zeus created to punish humanity for what Prometheus did. #Hesiod

"Whoever harms another also harms himself"

οἷ αὐτῷ κακὰ τεύχει ἀνὴρ ἄλλῳ κακὰ τεύχων

#Hesiod.

I wonder if Hesiod really meant that because "wiggling her behind" is from the translator. Wiggling your butt just makes me think of the pee pee dance.

"They passed on several vivid and improbable stories about him--that he beat Homer in a singing contest, he committed adultery with a host's sister, and fathered the Locrian poet Stesichorus, that he was murdered for his crime, and that his body was thrown out to sea but brought back by dolphins."

I love how there's always ridiculous stories about the writers of Classical Greece. The writers become their own myths. When I die please send me to a bunch of Dolphins.

So for me this is discovery of a gay poet new to me, alongside his theological and social arguments and comments. I’m enjoying his Elegies a lot so far.

“But a roar comes from Justice as she is dragged where
bribe-devouring men lead when they apply laws with crooked judgments.”

ῆς δὲ Δίκης ῥόθος ἑλκομένης ᾗ κ’ ἄνδρες ἄγωσι
δωροφάγοι, σκολιῇς δὲ δίκῃς κρίνωσι θέμιστας· #Hesiod

“The man who does evil against another harms himself.”

οἷ αὐτῷ κακὰ τεύχει ἀνὴρ ἄλλῳ κακὰ τεύχων #Hesiod

"It is no good at all for a man to be just when the unjust man gets more than what is just." #Hesiod #Justice #RuleOfLaw

On the Nature of the Gods Unpacking enigmatic divinity in the classics

"I shall sketch another story for you, telling it well and skillfully, and beg you to deeply ponder how the gods and mortal men are born from the same source.” -- #Hesiod

There is hope ...

" #HESIOD ON WHAT DIVINE IS LEFT

"Hope is the only good god remaining among mankind;
the others have left and gone to Olympus.
Trust, a mighty god has gone, Restraint has gone from men,
and the Graces, my friend, have abandoned the earth."

The Iron Age, as described by Greek poet Hesiod around 700 BC.
Or, as we know it, current events.
#Hesiod

#SuetoniusTogether
#Tiberius (59)
Saturns goldene Zeiten

The Greek poet #Hesiod (750~650 BC) outlined The Five Ages in his poem „Works and Days“.
Hesiod thinks about man's role in the world—from the perspective of the little man; about right and wrong,about earning a living through serious work.

If you're paying attention my #ClassicsTober23 is #Pompeii & #Hercualneum based. I knew it would be a difficult: no Pandora. Why? My suspicion is myth (think #Hesiod) of early man not as popular as Homer. For day 11 Alma Tadema's Pandora (1881) b/c he painted loads in Pompeii.
