The Theogony (Θεογονία) is a poetic account of how the Greek gods came into existence, and of the relationships and conflicts between them which led finally to a permanent divine monarchy under the rule of Zeus, the supreme god and 'father of gods and men.'

Hesiod's Theogony is our best and earliest evidence for what the ancient Greek believed about the beginning of the world and its divine governance. It is relatively short and straightforward account of family relationships and conflicts among the gods. But, underlying the genealogical lists and remote places, the Theogony is also a complex and powerful statement of the connection between family status and the drive for power.

The Theogony, like all mythical poetry, is a reinterpretation traditional myths in order to create a set of symbols which give meaning to life as experienced by the poet and his age. Hesiod says as much in his own way in his introductory invocation of the Muses. He tells us how the Muses once appeared to the shepherd Hesiod and told him what to sing. This claim to divine inspiration is not a mere literary artifice. The poet is a prophet of religious truth, and Hesiod is conscious that the truth revealed to him conflicts with much that passed as truth in his own day: the Muses tell him that they "know how to say many lies as if they were true," as well as to "speak the truth" when they wish to. The Theogony is, therefore, not an encyclopedia of orthodoxy—there is no orthodoxy in Greek religion anyway—but the result of a creative reinterpretation which reorganizes old myths, alters them, and supplements them with new inventions.

Hesiod obtained the mythology which he has incorporated into the Theogony from three main sources: first, the literature of Homeric poetry; secondly, the unwritten local and tribal traditions of the Greeks; and, thirdly, the mythological literature of the Ancient Near East. In spite of the gaps in our knowledge of all three of these sources we can find in one or other of them the basis of practically every major episode in the Theogony. In Homer, Hesiod found the names, parentage, and attributes of the Olympian gods; he also found such major ideas as the organization of the pantheon under the monarchy of Zeus and the relegation of Kronos and the Titans to the underworld. Greek popular traditions included the notions of the primal mother Earth, the fire-stealing culture-hero Prometheus, the magically potent intermediary Hekate, and the concealment of the infant Zeus in Crete. Oriental mythological literature provides parallels so close to Kronos' castration of his own father that, in the absence of satisfactory evidence that this motif was present in every Greek traditions, it seem reasonable to infer that Hesiod somehow obtained it from the East. It is enough to indicate that his originality does not consist in free invention.

Hesiod's originality does lie in the selection that he made from the store of motif available to him and in the organization of his selection into a meaningful structure. He was the first to write a comprehensive and systematic Greek theogony. He may have been stimulated by acquaintance with Oriental literature of similar scope and purpose; judging from the analogy of primitive peoples Greek popular traditions must have included some cosmological lore. The Theogony won acceptance because it presented an interpretation of the cosmos that made sense to the Greeks in terms of their own experience of life. To measure Hesiod's achievement, we must find a point of view which enables us to appreciate the Theogony as a response and a contribution to Greek culture.

The universe, according to the Theogony, is dynamic and full of polar tensions. So was Greek society. Definitions of the essence of Greek culture vary depending on the culture with which it is, explicitly or implicitly, contrasted. A historical definition should take as its point of departure the difference between Greek culture, as one specimen of the early Iron Age, from the Bronze Age cultures which preceded it. The Greeks, the pioneers of the early Iron Age, developed a form of civilization in which power was diffused and decentralized, in contrast with the monolithic concentration of power in the Ancient Near East. In economic life, the cheaper technology of iron, a more complete surrender to the system of private property, and (later) the invention of coined money diffused capital and capitalism to small farmers, merchants, and craftsmen. In political life the traditions of primitive tribal democracy were not lost, as in the Ancient Near East, but grew into a republican framework within which social classes, pressure-groups, and individuals competed for power. In cultural life the invention of the alphabet diffused access to literature, which in the Ancient Near East was monopolized by a specialized caste of scribes in the service of the palace or the temple; for the first time it was possible for a farmer, like Hesiod, to be also a poet. This diffusion of power in the Greek city-state set the stage for a more or less permanent state of competition or conflict between individuals and classes, which, as it developed, made rapid mutations in political, economic, and cultural forms inevitable. Thus Greek culture was faced with two characteristic problem: how to find unity in diversity, and how to find a permanent principle in the midst of flux. These later became the classic problems of Greek philosophy; it is Hesiod's achievement to have formulated them first in mytho-poeic terms.
