Hesiod’s claim that “men and gods are born from the
same place” according to West, is that they started on the same terms” (West

Hesiod established (the) theomorphic standard of
appearance... human beings are anthropomorphic because they resemble the gods.

"Hesiod’s claim that “men and gods are born from the same place” according to West, is that they started on the same terms” (West 1978:178)"
ReplyDeleteI find this absurd. The puzzling short remark of Hesiod is between two long passages, one of which states that Zeus conceived evil for humans and hid the fire from them, and the other details the divine creation of subsequent generations of humans, and the destruction of one of these generations by the same gods because humans neglected their duty to sacrifice.
The "same place" remark would be more appropriate for the Theogony, where one could interpret some lines as evidence that both gods and humans ultimately originate from Gaea. However, in this poem as well, the first meaningful thing we hear about humans is that they were summoned to Mecone to decide what exactly they were to sacrifice.
Right from the beginning, humans were obliged to sacrifice in order to have their lives spared. You cannot say that two communities start on equal terms if one of them can exterminate the other, and the other is forced to ransom their lives over and over again.
"Here's a bad idea; Athens to Sparta "For it has always been the law that the weaker should be subject to the stronger.” "
ReplyDeleteI am afraid that it is not an idea (good or bad) but rather a fact.
Maya,
ReplyDeleteIt is not always a fact. Many sacred independent places have been protected by stronger nations without being overly subject to the wimps of greater power; Delphi and Vatican City. Small nations survive; Monaco, San Marino, Andorra.
I like that.
