Focal points for next session

For the first part of our Nov. 9 meeting, we'll explore Genesis 1 - 11 a bit more. And we'll look at elements in Hesiod as well.

A couple of passages in Works and Days to keep in view:

• The story of Epimetheus and Prometheus (pp. 60-62 in Penguin edition)

• The Ages of Man (62-65)

We might also more briefly look at the story of Zeus and Metis in the Theogony, and the figure of Typhoeus, the last obstreperous challenger to Zeus in the Theogony.

The latter part of the session will be devoted to Genesis 12-23:20.
