    Roman and Greek mythology consist of multiple interpretations of how the creator, be it the gods or nature, contributed to the birth of the world. These stories draw the backgrounds of the gods and goddesses that govern much of classical mythology. Ovid’s Metamorphoses and Hesiod’s Theogony are two pieces of work that account for how our universe came to be. A comparison of Theogony with Metamorphoses reveals that Hesiod’s creation story portrays the deities as having an omnipresent, powerful function who are at the center of the universe’s creation whereas, in Metamorphoses, the gods do not play a significant role; rather the humans are at the center of the creation.…

    Children’s Book Reflection Origo Deorum is a retelling Hesiod’s Theogony, a large-scale synthesis of Greek religious traditions and fables concerning the gods and the universe. The children’s book recounts the birth of the gods and the gradual emergence of Zeus’ dominance and his formation of cosmic order. The story is told in three stages, the castration of Oursanos by Cronos, the deception of Cronos by Gaia and Zeus, and the victory of the new gods over the Titans. The myth does not follow the pattern of a Judeo-Christian creation myth or Ovid’s Metamorphoses, where an omnipresent god or power is responsible for all of creation, but rather follows the procreative pattern of the human family.…
