I enjoyed events such as starting school…

The works of Hesiod and Homer served as some of the earliest theories of cosmology and cosmogony. After Xenophanes of Colophon understood their interpretation of the kosmos, he rejects many of their ideas and asserts his claim that God is anthropomorphic and does not interfere with human life. In this paper, I will examine the differences between the views of Hesiod and Homer and those of Xenophanes.
