Theogony

A 1,022 line poem attributed to the seventh century BCE poet, Hesiod.

Theogony is the most complete and ancient recounting of the genealogy of the Immortals; a must read for all students of Greek Mythology.

Theogony can be found as part of the Richmond Lattimore book, Hesiod, which includes Works of Days, Theogony and The Shield of Herakles, ISBN 0472081616 (paper bound) or 0472439030 (clothbound); for the complete translations of the Epic Cycle I also recommend the Loeb Classical Library volume 57, ISBN 0674990633; you can find these books at most libraries or you can order them from the Book Shop on this site which is linked to Amazon.com.
