Theogony, Works and Days by Hesiod

3.0

This was a fascinating read, but made more than somewhat tedious by the begats form. Interesting to catch a glimpse of 8th c. BCE religious trends, such as the somewhat recent birth of Hecate as an all-powerful, beneficent goddess! Not yet the crone, or not in these parts, at least. It was sad to read such a damning view of women in the story of the first woman. Worse than Agamemnon's rant against women in the Odyssey. (Yes, he had cause to be angry, but cursing all women from his time forward?)
