“At first he took the parents head, of which he created an orb, and established it in the centre of the firmament, and it became of a very superior nature to bestow light to the new world, and again he took the remnant of the body and formed another orb, which was inferior to the light”. The good mind created many things and gave life to being on the Great Island. As the good mind went throughout the universe creating everything in it’s former condition, the bad mind created different forms of life. The bad mind didn’t like what his brother was doing, so he challenged him. Whoever gains the victory should govern the universe; and appointed a day to meet the contest.

    Hesiod’s Theogony and the Babylonian Enuma Elish are both myths that begin as creation myths, explaining how the universe and, later on, humans came to be. These types of myths exist in every culture and, while the account of creation in Hesiod’s Theogony and the Enuma Elish share many similarities, the two myths differ in many ways as well. Both myths begin creation from where the universe is a formless state, from which the primordial gods emerge. The idea of the earth and sky beginning as one and then being separated is also expressed in both myths.

  • Moral Decay in Hesiod's Tales

    878 Words  | 2 Pages

    It is ironic that the entity in existence was the being called Chaos, for although it's Greek translation is Chasm, or emptiness, I believe that chaos and disorder will be their fate if the gods continue this eternal cycle of increasing self destructive behavior. All of this, however, was created as through the beliefs and imagination of Hesiod. Historians and mythologists still can not concretely separate, in his two stories, the Theogony and the Works and Days, which parts were of his imagination and which were not; it is therefore difficult to determine what the author's overall message was to the readers. It is possible that Hesiod wrote these stories in order to discredit the gods with gossip of their alleged human-like violence and sexual transgressions.

    If you are less inclined to partying with the backpackers, then get off at the middle island, Gili Meno. Here, partying is limited to sipping cocktails by candlelight beach bars and listening to romantic music. Even better, sit on one of the big beanbags spread-out right on the sandy beach, separated by small tables with flickering candles. As the smallest of the three, least populated, and least developed, Gili Meno is also known as the romantic island, ideal for lovebirds and honeymooning couples. Gili Meno is also famous for snorkelling, outstanding white sand beaches, and turquoise waters, and can still be described as somewhat “untouched, unspoilt, and an unshared sanctuary”. A reminder that while it had few tourists a long time ago, nowadays
