'''''Theogony''''' is a [[poem]] by [[Hesiod]] describing the origins of the gods of [[Greek mythology|ancient Greek religion]].

==Descriptions==
Hesiod's '' Theogony'' is a large-scale synthesis of a vast variety of local [[Ancient Greece|Greek]] traditions concerning the [[Greek mythology|gods]], organized as a [[narrative]] that tells how they came to be and how they established permanent control over the cosmos. In many cultures, narratives about the cosmos and about the gods that shaped it are a way for society to reaffirm its native cultural traditions. Specifically, theogonies tend to affirm kingship as the natural embodiment of society. What makes the ''Theogony'' of Hesiod unique is that it affirms no historical royal line. Such a gesture would have cited the ''Theogony'' in one time and one place. Rather, the ''Theogony'' affirms the kingship of the god [[Zeus]] himself over all the other gods and over the whole cosmos.

Further, Hesiod appropriates to himself the authority usually reserved to sacred kingship. The poet declares that it is he, where we might have expected some king instead, upon whom the [[Muse|Muses]] have bestowed the two gifts of a scepter and an authoritative voice (Hesiod, ''Theogony'' 30-3), which are the visible signs of kingship. It is not that this gesture is meant to make Hesiod a king. Rather, the point is that the authority of kingship now belongs to the poetic voice, the voice that is declaiming the ''Theogony''.

Although it is often used as a sourcebook for Greek mythology, the ''Theogony'' is both more and less than that. In formal terms it is a hymn invoking Zeus and the Muses: parallel passages between it and the much shorter [[Homer|Homeric]] ''Hymn to the Muses'' make it clear that the ''Theogony'' developed out of a tradition of hymnic preludes with which an ancient Greek rhapsody would begin their performance at poetic competitions. It is necessary to see the ''Theogony'' not as the definitive source of Greek mythology, but rather as a snapshot of a dynamic tradition that happened to crystallize when Hesiod set the myths he knew down to writing - and to remember that the traditions have continued evolving since that time.

==First Generation==
After the speaker declares that he has received the blessings of the Muses, and thanks them for giving him inspiration, he explains that spontaneously [[Chaos]] first came into existence. [[Gaia]] (Earth), the more orderly and safe foundation that would serve as a home for the gods and mortals, came afterwards. [[Tartarus]] (both a place below the earth as well as a deity) and [[Eros]] (Desire) also came into existence from nothing. Eros serves an important role in sexual reproduction, before which children had to be produced by means of parthenogenesis. From Chaos came [[Erebos]] (Darkness) and [[Nyx]] (Night). However, Erebos and Nyx reproduced to make [[Aither]] (Brightness) and [[Hemera]] (Day). From Gaia came [[Ouranos]] (Sky), the [[Ourea]] (Mountains), and [[Pontus]] (Sea).

Ouranos mated with Gaia to create twelve [[Titan (mythology)|Titan]]s: [[Okeanos]], [[Coeus]], [[Crius]], [[Hyperion]], [[Iapetus (mythology)|Iapetos]], [[Theia]], [[Rhea]], [[Themis]], [[Mnemosyne]], [[Phoebe]], [[Tethys]], and [[Kronos]]; three [[Cyclops|Kyklopes]]: [[Brontes]], [[Steropes]], and [[Arges]]; and three [[Hecatonchires|Hundred-Handeds]]: [[Kottos]], [[Briareos]], and [[Gyges]].

==Second Generation==
Because Ouranos foresaw that one of his children would overthrow him, he tried to imprison each of the children in Gaia, which greatly discomforted her. She asked her children to punish their father. Only Kronos was willing to do so. During Ouranos' attempt to mate with Gaia as he does every night Kronos, with a sickle from Gaia, castrated his father. The blood from Ouranos splattered onto the earth producing [[Erinyes]] (the Furies), [[Giants]], and [[Meliai]]. Kronos takes the severed penis and throw them into Ocean (Thalassa), around which foams developed and they transformed into the [[goddess]] of [[Love]], [[Aphrodite]] (which is why in some myths, Aphrodite was daughter of Ouranos and the goddess [[Thalassa]]).

Meanwhile, Nyx, though she mated with Erebos, produced fifteen children parthenogenically: [[Moros]] (Doom), [[Oneiroi]] (Dreams), [[Keres (mythology)|Keres]] (Destinies), [[Eris (mythology)|Eris]] (Discord), [[Ker]] (Destiny), [[Momos]] (Blame), [[Philotes (mythology)|Philotes]] (Love), [[Geras]] (Old Age), [[Thanatos]] (Death), [[Moirai]] (Fates), [[Nemesis (mythology)|Nemesis]] (Retribution), [[Hesperides]] (Daughters of Night), [[Hypnos]] (Sleep), [[Oizys]] (Pain), and [[Apate]] (Deceit).

From Eris, following her mother's footstep, came Ponos (Hardship), Hysmine (Battles),the Neikea (Quarrels), the Phonoi (Murders), [[Lethe]] (Forgetfulness), [[Makhai]] (Wars), Pseudologos (Lies), Amphilogia (Disputes), Limos (Famine), Androktasia (Manslaughters), [[Ate]] (Ruin), [[Dysnomia]] (Anarchy and Disobedience), the [[Algea]] (Pains), Horkos (Oaths), and [[Logoi]] (Stories).

After Ouranos had been castrated, Gaia mated with Pontos to create a descendent line consisting of sea deities, sea nymphs, and hybrid monsters. One child of Gaia and Pontos is [[Nereus]] (Old Man of the Sea), who marries [[Doris]], a daughter of Okeanos and Tethys, to produce the [[Nereid]]s, the fifty nymphs of the sea. Another child of Gaia and Pontos is [[Thaumas]], who marries [[Electra]], a sister of Doris, to produce [[Iris]] (Rainbow) and three [[Harpies]].

[[Phorkys]] and [[Ceto|Keto]], two siblings, marry each other and produce the [[Graiae]], the [[Gorgons]], [[Echidna]], and Ophion. [[Medusa]], one of the Gorgons, produced two children with Poseidon, the winged-horse [[Pegasus]] and giant [[Chrysaor]], at the instant of her decapitation by [[Perseus]]. Chrysaor marries [[Callirhoe]], another daughter of Okeanos, to make three-headed [[Geryon]].

Gaia also mates with Tartaros to produce [[Typhoeus]], whom Echidna marries to produce [[Orthos]], [[Kerberos]], [[Hydra]], and [[Chimaira]]. From Orthos and either Chimaira or Echidna were born the [[Sphinx]] and the [[Nemean Lion]].

In the family of the Titans, Okeanos and Tethys marry to make three thousand rivers and three thousand Okeanid Nymphs. Theia and Hyperion marry to bear [[Helios]] (Sun), [[Selene]] (Moon), and [[Eos]] (Dawn). Kreios and Eurybia marry to bear [[Astraios]], [[Pallas]], and [[Perses]]. Eos and Astraios would later marry to produce [[Zephyros]], [[Boreas]], [[Notos]],Eosphoros,Hesperos, Phosphoros and the [[Stars]](Foremost of which Phaenon, Phaethon, Pyroeis, Stilbon, those of the Zodiac and those three acknowledged before). From Pallas and Styx (another Okeanid) came [[Zelos]] (Zeal), [[Nike]] (Victory), [[Cratos]] (Strength), [[Bia]] (Force). Koios and Phoibe marry to make [[Leto]], [[Asteria]] (who later marries Perses to produce [[Hekate]]). Iapetos marries Klymene (an Okeanid Nymph) to sire [[Atlas]], [[Menoetius]], [[Prometheus]], and [[Epimetheus]].

==Third and final generation==
Kronos, having taken control of the Cosmos, wanted to ensure that he maintained power, as Metis, Oceanid goddess of wisdom, prophesied to him that a son would overthrow him. When he married Rhea, he made sure to swallow each of the children she birthed: [[Hestia]], [[Demeter]], [[Hera]], [[Hades]], [[Poseidon]], [[Zeus]](in that order). However, Rhea asks Gaia and Ouranos for help in saving Zeus by sending Rhea to Crete to nurture Zeus and giving Kronos a huge stone to swallow thinking that it was another of Rhea's children. Rhea then sets Zeus on a tree that sat on a ledge (between sky, earth and sea, making him invisible) with the Curetes constantly clanging their swords on their shield to keep Kronos from hearing the infant Zeus's crying.

After Zeus had grown up, he consults Metis, who concocts a potion which forces Kronos to disgorge his siblings and thereafter waged a great war on the Titans for control of the [[Cosmos]]. The war lasted ten years, with the Olympian gods, Cyclopes, Prometheus and Epimetheus, the children of Pallas on one side, and the Titans and the Giants on the other (with only Oceanos as a neutral force) Eventually Zeus releases the Hundred-Handed ones to shake the earth, allowing him to gain the upper hand, cast the fury of his thunderbolts and throw the Titans into Tartaros. Zeus later must battle [[Typhoeus]], a son of Gaia and Tartaros created because Gaia was angry that the Titans were defeated, and is victorious again.

Because Prometheus helped Zeus, he was not sent to Tartaros like the other Titans. However, he later stole fire from the Olympian gods to give to mortals, along with other knowledge, which angered Zeus. Zeus punishes Prometheus by chaining him to a column and invokes a long-winged eagle that would feed on his ever-regenerating liver. Prometheus would not be freed until [[Heracles]], a son of Zeus, comes to free him and encourage him to tell Zeus the prophecy of who would overthrow Zeus. (A digression: It would later turn out that Thetis, a nymph that Zeus was chasing, would have a son that would be greater than his father. Zeus promptly married her off to Peleus, who ended up fathering to [[Achilleus]].At the wedding, Eris, who resented not being invited, rolled a golden apple for the inscribed "For the Fairest". The apple rolled between the three loveliest goddesses (Hera, Aphrodite, and Athene). The three goddesses asked Zeus to decide who was loveliest, but he was afraid of what either of them might do if they were not chosen. So he sat the responsibility on the Trojan Prince Paris. He chose Aphrodite over Athena and Hera to get the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen, and start the [[Trojan War]]. Another trickery Prometheus made was to divide an animal sacrifice, giving meat to humans and bone and skin to the gods. It forms the origin of sacrificing animals to a deity.

Zeus, because of the loss of fire, would later punish the men on earth by making a woman with Hephaistos and Athena, Pandora, who, through her good charms and beauty, would bring about all the miseries of diseases and deaths into the world by opening a box from Zeus, but she closed the box before Elpis (Hope) was released. It would not be until Prometheus came and opened the box to free Elpis (Hope).

Zeus marries seven wives. The first is Oceanid [[Metis]], whom he swallowed to avoid getting a son that, like as what happened with Kronos and Ouranos, would overthrow him. He later would give birth from the head to Athena, which would anger Hera enough for her to produce her own son parthenogenically, [[Hephaistos]], the crippled god of fire, smithing, artisans, and masonry. The second wife is Themis, who bears the three '''[[Horae]]''' (Hours) – [[Eunomia]] (Order), [[Dike]] (Justice), [[Horae|Eirene]] ([[Peace]]) and the three '''[[Moirae]]''' (Fates) – [[Klotho]] (Spinner), [[Lachesis]] (Alotter), [[Atropos]] (Unturned), as well as [[Tyche]]. Zeus then married his third wife Eurynome, who bears the three Charites (Graces). The fourth wife is his sister [[Demeter]], who bears Persephone. Persephone would later marry Hades, and bear Melinoe, Goddess of Ghosts, and [[Zagreus]], God of the Orphic Mysteries, and [[Macaria]], Goddess of the Blessed Afterlife. The fifth wife of Zeus is another aunt, Mnemosyne, from whom came the nine [[Muses]] – [[Kleio]], [[Euterpe]], [[Thaleia]], [[Melpomene]], [[Terpsikhore]], [[Erato]], [[Polymnia]], [[Urania]], and [[Kalliope]]. The sixth wife is Leto, who gives birth to [[Apollo]] and [[Artemis]]. The seventh and final wife is Hera, who gives birth to [[Hebe]], [[Ares]],[[Enyo]] and [[Eileithyia]]. Of course, though Zeus no longer marries, he still has affairs with many other women, such as [[Semele]], who would give birth to [[Dionysus]], and [[Alkmene]], the mother of [[Heracles]], who marries [[Hebe]].

Poseidon marries [[Amphitrite]] and produces [[Triton]]. Ares and Aphrodite would marry to make [[Phobos]] (Fear), [[Deimos]] (Cowardice), and [[Harmonia]](Harmony), who would later marry [[Kadmos]] to sire [[Ino]] (who with her son, [[Melicertes]] would become a sea deity) [[Semele]] (Mother of Dionysos), [[Agaue]] (Mother of Actaeon), [[Polydorus]], and [[Autonoe]](Who would later be driven in to perpetual Bacchic Frenzy by her nephew, Dionysos). Helios and [[Perseis]] birth [[Kirke]] (Circe), who with Poseidon would mother Phaunos, God of the Forest, and with Dionysos mother Comos, God of Revelry and Festivity . And with [[Odysseus]] , she would later give birth to [[Agrius]],and who would kill his father while raiding Ithaca. Atlas' daughter [[Calypso (mythology)|Kalypso]] would with Odysseus give birth to [[Telegonos]],Teledamus, [[Latinos]], [[Nausithoos]] and [[Nausinous]].
