The earliest Greek mythologies come to us from Hesiod, to whom we turn for a glimpse into the Ancient Greek psyche. Rabbi Rocklin will address the following questions:
- Who was Hesiod and why do we need to study his works?
- According to Hesiod, why was woman created? How does that compare to the Biblical account of the creation of woman?
- How does Hesiod’s Fable of the Hawk highlight the pagan perspective on being moral and just?
