Famous quotes by Hesiod:

"If you add a little to a little, and then do it again, soon that little shall be much."

"It is best to do things systematically, since we are only humans, and disorder is our worst enemy"

"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 steer is the way to it."

"Observe due measure, for right timing is in all things the most important factor."

"When you deal with your brother, be pleasant, but get a witness"

"Potter is jealous of potter, and craftsman of craftsman; and the poor have a grudge against the poor, and the poet against the poet."

"A bad neighbor is a misfortune, as much as a good one is a great blessing"

"Work is no disgrace: it is idleness which is a disgrace"

"Before the gates of excellence the high gods have placed sweat; long is the road thereto and rough and steep at first; but when the heights are reached, then there is ease, then there is ease, though grievously hard in the winning"

"I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on the frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words. When I was a boy, we were taught to be discrete and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise and impatient of restraint."

"For a man wins nothing better than a good wife, and then again nothing deadlier than a bad one."

"When you deal with your brother, be pleasant, but get a witness."

"Work is no disgrace: it is idleness which is a disgrace."

"Toil is no source of shame; idleness is shame."

"Giving is good, but taking is bad and brings death."

"Whoever happens to give birth to mischievous children lives always with unending grief in his spirit and heart."

"At the beginning of the cask and the end take thy fill but be saving in the middle; for at the bottom the savings comes too late."

"He is senseless who would match himself against a stronger man; for he is deprived of victory and adds suffering to disgrace."

"It is best to do things systematically, since we are only human, and disorder is our worst enemy."

"He fashions evil for himself who does evil to another, and an evil plan does mischief to the planner."

Hesiod, Theogeny Lines 1-21

Duration: 6:54
Updated: 13 Jan 2015

Hesiod, Theogeny Lines 1-21 Forgive my mistakes. I'm not perfect in terms of Technical stuff. But it's an attempt. The main purpose here is to juxtapose the three main ways ancient Greek reaches the ears of the unsuspecting learner. Under fear of commuting hubris, I dare contend that widespread beliefs about ancient Greek pronunciation are long overdue for a massive overhaul, thanks to Oxyrynchos and new knowledge that should force us to create a new-new re-reconstructed version. Μουσάων Ἑλικωνιάδων ἀρχώμεθ᾽ ἀείδειν, αἵ θ᾽ Ἑλικῶνος ἔχουσιν ὄρος μέγα τε ζάθεόν τε καί τε περὶ κρήνην ἰοειδέα πόσσ᾽ ἁπαλοῖσιν ὀρχεῦνται καὶ βωμὸν ἐρισθενέος Κρονίωνος· καί τε λοεσσάμεναι τέρενα χρόα Περμησσοῖο 5 ἢ Ἵππου κρήνης ἢ Ὀλμειοῦ ζαθέοιο ἀκροτάτῳ Ἑλικῶνι χοροὺς ἐνεποιήσαντο καλούς, ἱμερόεντας· ἐπεῤῥώσαντο δὲ ποσσίν.

Interview with Toteras #4: Women want men to change but to what? After Milt introduces the show and introduces his 4th Interview with Toteras, then speaks about their 2 relationship booklets, The Get Over Yourself! Handbook on Cheating and Betrayal and The Get Over Yourself! Handbook on Creating Happiness in a Relationship, he speaks about the amazing background of Toteras, then reads some text from the website set up in honor of the man, SchoolofAbsurdity.com, which describes his life-story, before he introduces the interview with Demetrius Toteras, featuring the issue of Change, its differing elements and the central issue of Change as it relates to relationships, women want men to change, but to what? These are the themes Toteras discusses: On Change: 'everything is subject to change'; deliberate change vs cyclical change; women want a man to change but to what?; women are tired of men and their wants; love is about being sweet every minute to women; sexual slapping; women want a man who feels; on veterans and feeling; on Plato, the 1st psychologist; on the Theogony and Hesiod; 'politeness is offensive for what it hides'; it's the man who makes the woman and vice versa; on Muslim men and women as their property; the Phd finding gism on his bedsheets; on Darwin's quest to understand man's emotions; on the differing feelings and emotions towards women and females. Milt then returns after the interview and closes the show.

Hesiod, Theogony 20 ff : "Kronos the *crafty counsellor."* Plato, Euthyphro 5e (trans. Fowler) (Greek philosopher C4th B.C.) "Men believe that Zeus . . . put his father [Kronos] in bonds because he wickedly devoured his children, and he in turn *had mutilated his father [Ouranos]* for similar reasons." Nonnus, Dionsyiaca 18. 223 ff : "Kronos still dripping held the emasculating sickleblade, after he had cut off the manly crop of his father’s [Ouranos’] plow *and robbed him of the Mother’s [Gaia’s] bed* to which he was hastening." Pausanias, Description of Greece 5. 7. 6 : "As for the Olympiakos Games, *the most learned antiquarians of Elis say that Kronos was the first king of heaven,* and that in his honour a temple was built in Olympia by the men of that age, who were named the Golden Race. When Zeus was born, Rhea entrusted the guardianship of her son to the Daktyloi of Ida, who are the same as those called Kouretes." Ovid, Metamorphoses 9. 497 ff (trans. Melville) (Roman epic C1st B.C. to C1st A.D.) : "Gods have loved their sisters; yes, indeed! Why Saturnus [Kronos] married Ops [Rhea], his kin by blood . . . *But the gods above are laws unto themselves."* Nonnus, Dionysiaca 27. 50 ff : "Kronos who banqueted on his own young children in *cannibal* wise." Callimachus, Iambi Fragment 192 (from Oxyrhynchus Papyri 7) : "[In the Golden Age when Kronos ruled :] *It was the time when birds and creatures of the sea and four-footed animals could talk* in the same way as the Promethean clay . . (lacuna) in the time of Kronos, and even before. Just is Zeus, yet unjust was his ruling when he deprived the animals of their speech, and--as though we were in a position to give part of our voice to others--diverted it to the race of men." Virgil, Georgics 2. 536 ff (trans. Fairclough) (Roman bucolic C1st B.C.) : "Before the Cretan king [Zeus] held scepter, and *before a godless race banqueted on slaughtered bullocks,* such was the life golden Saturnus [Kronos] lived on earth, while yet none had heard the clarion blare, none the sword blades ring, as they were laid on the stubborn anvil." Aeschylus, Agamemnon 168 ff (trans. Weir Smyth) (Greek tragedy C5th B.C.) : "He [Ouranos] who once was mighty, swelling with insolence for every fight, *he shall not even be named as having ever existed;* and he [Kronos] who arose later, he has met his overthrower [Zeus] and is past and gone." Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound 955 ff : "Have I [the Titan Prometheus] not seen two sovereigns *[Ouranos and Kronos] cast out from these heights [of heaven]?"* Cicero, De Natura Deorum 2. 24 (trans. Rackham) (Roman rhetorician C1st B.C.) : "Another theory also, and that a scientific one, has been the source of a number of deities, who clad in human form have furnished the poets with legends and have filled man’s life with superstitions of all sorts. This subject was handled by Zeno and was later explained more fully by Cleanthes and Chrysippus. For example, an ancient belief prevailed throughout Greece that Caelus [Ouranos the Sky] was mutilated by his son Saturnus [Kronos], and Saturnus himself thrown into bondage by his son Jove [Zeus]: now these immoral fables enshrined a decidedly clever scientific theory. *Their meaning was that the highest element of celestial ether or fire [Ouranos the Sky], which by itself generates all things, is devoid of that bodily part which required union with another for the work of procreation.* By Saturnus [Kronos] again they denoted that being who maintains the course and revolution of the seasons and periods of time, the deity so designated in Greek, for Saturnus’ Greek name is Kronos, which is the same as khronos, a space of time. The Latin designation ‘Saturnus’ on the other hand is due to the fact that he is ‘saturated’ or ‘satiated with years’ (anni); the fable is that he was in the habit of devouring his sons - meaning that Time devours the ages and gorges himself insatiably with the years that are past. Saturnus is bound by Jove [Zeus] in order that Time’s courses might not be unlimited, and that Jove might fetter him by the bonds of the stars." Hesiod, Theogony 820 ff : "The Titanes *under Tartaros who live with Kronos."* Nonnus, Dionysiaca 41. 65 ff (trans. Rouse) (Greek epic C5th A.D.) : "Now first appeared the golden crop of men [the Golden Race of Mankind] brought forth in the image of the gods, with the roots of their stock in the earth. *And these dwelt in the [Phoenician] city of Beroe, that primordial seat which Kronos himself builded."*

Anacharsis quote. Subscribe for more quote recommendations! Anacharsis, (flourished early 6th century bc), legendary Scythian prince included in some ancient Greek lists as one of the Seven Wise Men and extolled as an exemplar of primitive virtue. Herodotus describes how, after extensive travels abroad in quest of knowledge or as an ambassador, Anacharsis returned home and was killed by the Scythians, either because he wanted to introduce the cult of the Great Mother (Magna Mater) of the Gods or because of his attachment to Greek customs. Later authors, offering more details, credit Anacharsis with numerous aphorisms and cite an interview between him and Solon.

Hesiod - Works and Days

Duration: 52:11
Updated: 24 Mar 2015

In the Works and Days, Hesiod describes himself as the heir of a farm bequeathed to him and his brother Perses. However, Perses apparently squandered his wealth and came back for what is owned by Hesiod. Perses went to law and bribed the lords to judge in his favour. The poem contains a sharp attack against unjust judges like those who decided in favour of Perses; they are depicted as pocketing bribes as they render their unfair verdicts. Hesiod seems to have thought that instead of giving him money or property which he will again spend in no time, it is better to teach him the virtues of work and to impart his wisdom which can be used to generate an income.

Many are called upon to rid the universe of lingering navigation data that would reveal the location of Earth. Among them is Navy Lieutenant Jacob Keyes. Thrust back into action after being sidelined, Keyes is saddled with a top secret mission by ONI. One that will take him deep behind enemy lines, to a corner of the universe where nothing is as it seems. Out beyond the Outer Colonies lies the planet Hesiod, a gas giant surrounded by a vast asteroid belt. As the Covenant continues to glass the human occupied planets near Hesiod, many of the survivors, helped by a stronghold of human Insurrectionists, are fleeing to the asteroid belt for refuge. They have transformed the tumbling satellites into a tenuous, yet ingenious, settlement known as the Rubble--and have come face-to-face with a Covenant settlement of Kig-Yar . . . yet somehow survived. News of this unlikely treaty has spread to the warring sides. Luckily for the UNSC, this uneasy alliance is in the path of the Spartan Gray Team, a three-man renegade squad whose simple task is to wreak havoc from behind enemy lines in any way they see fit. But the Prophets have also sent their best---an ambitious and ruthless Elite, whose quest for nobility and rank is matched only by his brutality . . . and who will do anything to secure his Ascendancy and walk the Path.

Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece and Rome - FULL Audio Book - by E.M. Berens

Duration: 687:21
Updated: 20 Jan 2013

Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece and Rome - FULL Audio Book - by E.M. Berens SUBSCRIBE to https://www.youtube.com/user/GreenAudioBooks Greek Mythology is the body of myths and teachings that belong to the ancient Greeks, concerning their gods and heroes, the nature of the world, and the origins and significance of their own cult and ritual practices. It was a part of the religion in ancient Greece and is part of religion in modern Greece and around the world, known as Hellenismos. Modern scholars refer to and study the myths in an attempt to throw light on the religious and political institutions of Ancient Greece and its civilization, and to gain understanding of the nature of myth-making itself.[1] Greek mythology is explicitly embodied in a large collection of narratives, and implicitly in Greek representational arts, such as vase-paintings and votive gifts. Greek myth attempts to explain the origins of the world, and details the lives and adventures of a wide variety of gods, goddesses, heroes, heroines, and mythological creatures. These accounts initially were disseminated in an oral-poetic tradition; today the Greek myths are known primarily from Greek literature. The oldest known Greek literary sources, Homer's epic poems Iliad and Odyssey, focus on events surrounding the Trojan War. Two poems by Homer's near contemporary Hesiod, the Theogony and the Works and Days, contain accounts of the genesis of the world, the succession of divine rulers, the succession of human ages, the origin of human woes, and the origin of sacrificial practices. Myths are also preserved in the Homeric Hymns, in fragments of epic poems of the Epic Cycle, in lyric poems, in the works of the tragedians of the fifth century BC, in writings of scholars and poets of the Hellenistic Age, and in texts from the time of the Roman Empire by writers such as Plutarch and Pausanias. Archaeological findings provide a principal source of detail about Greek mythology, with gods and heroes featured prominently in the decoration of many artifacts. Geometric designs on pottery of the eighth century BC depict scenes from the Trojan cycle as well as the adventures of Heracles. In the succeeding Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods, Homeric and various other mythological scenes appear, supplementing the existing literary evidence.[2] Greek mythology has had an extensive influence on the culture, arts, and literature of Western civilization and remains part of Western heritage and language. Poets and artists from ancient times to the present have derived inspiration from Greek mythology and have discovered contemporary significance and relevance in the themes. - According to Classical-era mythology, after the overthrow of the Titans, the new pantheon of gods and goddesses was confirmed. Among the principal Greek gods were the Olympians, residing atop Mount Olympus under the eye of Zeus. (The limitation of their number to twelve seems to have been a comparatively modern idea.)[32] Besides the Olympians, the Greeks worshipped various gods of the countryside, the satyr-god Pan, Nymphs (spirits of rivers), Naiads (who dwelled in springs), Dryads (who were spirits of the trees), Nereids (who inhabited the sea), river gods, Satyrs, and others. In addition, there were the dark powers of the underworld, such as the Erinyes (or Furies), said to pursue those guilty of crimes against blood-relatives.[33] In order to honor the Ancient Greek pantheon, poets composed the Homeric Hymns (a group of thirty-three songs).[34] Gregory Nagy regards "the larger Homeric Hymns as simple preludes (compared with Theogony), each of which invokes one god".[35] In the wide variety of myths and legends that Greek mythology consists of, the gods that were native to the Greek peoples are described as having essentially corporeal but ideal bodies. According to Walter Burkert, the defining characteristic of Greek anthropomorphism is that "the Greek gods are persons, not abstractions, ideas or concepts".[36] Regardless of their underlying forms, the Ancient Greek gods have many fantastic abilities; most significantly, the gods are not affected by disease, and can be wounded only under highly unusual circumstances. The Greeks considered immortality as the distinctive characteristic of their gods; this immortality, as well as unfading youth, was insured by the constant use of nectar and ambrosia, by which the divine blood was renewed in their veins.[37] - If you enjoyed "Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece and Rome - FULL Audio Book - by E.M.

Famous quotes by Hesiod:

"If you add a little to a little, and then do it again, soon that little shall be much."

"It is best to do things systematically, since we are only humans, and disorder is our worst enemy"

"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 steer is the way to it."

"Observe due measure, for right timing is in all things the most important factor."

"When you deal with your brother, be pleasant, but get a witness"

"Potter is jealous of potter, and craftsman of craftsman; and the poor have a grudge against the poor, and the poet against the poet."

"A bad neighbor is a misfortune, as much as a good one is a great blessing"

"Work is no disgrace: it is idleness which is a disgrace"

"Before the gates of excellence the high gods have placed sweat; long is the road thereto and rough and steep at first; but when the heights are reached, then there is ease, then there is ease, though grievously hard in the winning"

"I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on the frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words. When I was a boy, we were taught to be discrete and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise and impatient of restraint."

"For a man wins nothing better than a good wife, and then again nothing deadlier than a bad one."

"When you deal with your brother, be pleasant, but get a witness."

"Work is no disgrace: it is idleness which is a disgrace."

"Toil is no source of shame; idleness is shame."

"Giving is good, but taking is bad and brings death."
