Theogony

Θεογονία
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

What meaning does the universe's origin, from Chaos to Cosmos, bring to our lives?

📝ONGO's Reflection

When I first opened the Theogony, the endless genealogy of the gods struck me as a little tedious. But gradually I realized that this lineage is no mere myth, but the fierce thought of ancient humanity striving to find law and order within the chaos of nature. Hesiod's insight holds the longing to rise above violence and chaos and build a world governed by reason. Through this majestic text, which renders the origin of the world as epic, you will witness the great first step of human imagination, which turned fear into awe.
