Hesiod on Ethics - Dictionary of Arguments
Taureck I 46 Ethics/Hesiod/Eon/Taureck: Hesiod is three generations later than Homer. He offers a completely different model: Descending eon: The present, in which the club law prevails, is the worst. Moral World Order: Zeus sees all the people's doing and rewards or punishes. Hesiod: while animals devour other animals, it is only the human who knows the notion of right. Wickedness can easily be attained, virtue only through labor. New in Hesiod is a moral god._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
