Theogony

Hesiod · 1914

Hesiod, the Homeric Hymns, and Homerica, William Heinemann

Hesiod's Theogony, in Hugh G. Evelyn-White's 1914 Loeb translation. The companion opens its section on superparental descent (P7) with Hesiod's gods, who begat gods mightier than themselves, an image that in agent lineages becomes a measurement: the child-to-parent capability ratio at birth, tested by prediction 3.
