Book Synopsis Hesiod's Anvil by : Andrew J. Simoson
Download or read book Hesiod's Anvil written by Andrew J. Simoson and published by MAA. This book was released on 2007-07-26 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about how poets, philosophers, storytellers, and scientists have described motion, beginning with Hesiod, who imagined that the expanse of heaven and the depth of hell was the distance that an anvil falls in nine days. The reader will learn that Dante's implicit model of the earth implies a black hole at its core, that Edmond Halley championed a hollow earth, and that Da Vinci knew that the acceleration due to Earth's gravity was a constant. There are chapters modeling Jules Verne's and H.G. Wells' imaginative flights to the moon and back, analyses of Edgar Alan Poe's descending pendulum, and the solution to an old problem perhaps inspired by one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. It blends with equal voice romantic whimsy and derived equations, and anyone interested in mathematics will find new and surprising ideas about motion and the people who thought about it.

Download or read book Hesiod written by Hesiod and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2004-08-02 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hesiod belongs to the transitional period in Greek civilization between the oral tradition and the introduction of a written alphabet. His two major surviving works, the Theogony and the Works and Days, address the divine and the mundane, respectively. The Theogony traces the origins of the Greek gods and recounts the events surrounding the crowning of Zeus as their king. A manual of moral instruction in verse, the Works and Days was addressed to farmers and peasants. Introducing his celebrated translations of these two poems and of the Shield, a very ancient poem of disputed authorship, Apostolos Athanassakis positions Hesiod simultaneously as a philosopher-poet, a bard with deep roots in the culture of his native Boeotia, and the heir to a long tradition of Hellenic poetry. For this eagerly anticipated revised edition, Athanassakis has provided an expanded introduction on Hesiod and his work, subtly amended his faithful translations, significantly augmented the notes and index, and updated the bibliography. Already a classic, Hesiod: Theogony, Works and Days, Shield is now more valuable than ever for students of Greek mythology and literature.

Download or read book Hesiod & The Hesiodic Corpus written by Hesiod and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2021-05-28 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hesiod is generally regarded as the first written poet in the Western tradition to regard himself as an individual persona with an active role to play in his subject. To these days three works have survived which were attributed to Hesiod by ancient commentators: Works and Days, Theogony, and Shield of Heracles. Only fragments exist of other works attributed to him. _x000D_ The Theogony is commonly considered Hesiod's earliest work. It concerns the origins of the world (cosmogony) and of the gods (theogony), beginning with Chaos, Gaia, Tartarus and Eros, and shows a special interest in genealogy._x000D_ The Works and Days is a poem of over 800 lines which revolves around two general truths: labour is the universal lot of Man, but he who is willing to work will get by. This work lays out the five Ages of Man, as well as containing advice and wisdom, prescribing a life of honest labour and attacking idleness and unjust judges as well as the practice of usury._x000D_ The subject of The Shield of Heracles is the expedition of Heracles and Iolaus against Cycnus, the son of Ares, who challenged Heracles to combat as Heracles was passing through Thessaly._x000D_ Contents:_x000D_ Hesiod's Works and Days_x000D_ The Divination by Birds_x000D_ The Astronomy_x000D_ The Precepts of Chiron_x000D_ The Great Works_x000D_ The Idaean Dactyls_x000D_ The Theogony_x000D_ The Catalogues of Women and Eoiae_x000D_ The Shield of Heracles_x000D_ The Marriage of Ceyx_x000D_ The Great Eoiae_x000D_ The Melampodia_x000D_ The Aegimius_x000D_ Fragments of Unknown Position_x000D_ Doubtful Fragments
