Evolution The violent spirit to forge a civilization vol 1

(Rodrigo GrandaB_hQJo) #1

The Age of Heroes and the Iron Age. For the fourth age,


Hesiod abandoned the metallurgical metaphor and instead


called it the Age of Heroes. The Age of Heroes was a historical


period for Hesiod, referring to the Mycenaean age and the


stories told by Hesiod's fellow poet Homer. The Age of Heroes


was a better and fairer time when men called Hemitheoi were


demigods, strong, brave and heroic. Though many were


destroyed by the great wars of Greek legends. After death, some


went to the Underworld; and the more fortunate to the Isles of


the Blessed.


The fifth age was the Iron Age, Hesiod's name for his own


time, and in it, all modern men were created by Zeus as evil and


selfish, burdened with weariness and sadness. All sorts of evils


arose during this age. Piety and other virtues disappeared and


most of the gods left on earth abandoned it. Hesiod predicted


that Zeus would one day destroy this race. Iron is the hardest


and most difficult metal to work, forged by fire and hammering.
