Hesiod's Theogony is not overtly concerned with the world of mortals. The place of humans in the Theogony nevertheless holds a certain fascination, perhaps more for what is not revealed—our origins, for example—than for what is. Focusing on a relatively neglected passage of the poem (Theogony 521-32), I want to trace here the way Hesiod lays out the cosmic coordinates of kleos (‘fame’ or ‘glory’) with a view to better situating the condition of mortality within the poem as a whole. Kleos, as we will see, is part of the fallout for humans of the battle of wits between Zeus and Prometheus: it is the compensation for their new, temporally inflected existence.

“…A Teogonia não é uma narrativa linear, mas antes um catálogo genealógico que contém estruturas em anel, anacronias e genealogias que debilitam a sua narrativa cronológica; cf. Rengakos (2009) .., 1992, VII, s.v.v. "Mousa, Mousai", p. 658;cf.…”

Resumo: O plural Μουσάων (“das Musas”) é a primeira palavra da primeira linha da Teogonia de Hesíodo, um poema sobre as origens do mundo e dos deuses – e o começo de Hesíodo como um poeta ensinado e “inspirado” pelas Musas. A partir de várias análises e abordagens, tanto antigas quanto recentes, esse artigo oferece uma reflexão sobre as Musas como agentes intelectuais na iniciativa de compor e apresentar poesia em performance. O tratamento de Platão da inspiração é contrastado com o de Hesíodo; as Musas no Ion servem de fonte para o criticismo do filósofo da mímesis com a sua enárgeia característica. A admissão de Hesíodo que cantores e poetas podem ser enganados pelas Musas é um indicativo da originalidade intelectual Grega, como é o conceito tradicional das Musas.Palavras-chave: Musas; Polímnia; inspiração; poesia; Hesíodo; Homero; enárgeia.Abstract: The plural Μουσάων (“from the Muses”) is the first word of the first line of Hesiod’s Theogony, a poem about the origins of the world and of the gods – and Hesiod’s first step as a poet taught and “inspired” by the Muses. Starting from various analyses and approaches both ancient and recent, this article is a reflection on the Muses as intellectual agents in the enterprise of composing and performing poetry. Plato’s treatment of inspiration is contrasted to Hesiod’s: the Muses in his work Ion are sources for the philosopher’s criticism of the mímesis with its trademark enárgeia. Hesiod’s admission that singers and poets can be misled by the Muses is an index of Greek intellectual originality, as is the traditional concept of the MusesKeywords: Muses; Polymnia; inspiration; poetry; Hesiod; Homer; enárgeia.
