The Pandora myth as told in Hesiod's Works and Days (59–105) has been criticised since antiquity as internally inconsistent. In the nineteenth and most of the twentieth century this led editors to propose radical atheteses and emendations to resolve the inconsistencies. Although in recent decades the impetus has swung more towards conservative editing, and seemingly endless work has been done on the myth, the passage still has not been fully understood in terms of its purpose within the Hesiodic corpus. In this paper I argue that the ‘suspect’ lines are perfectly consistent when understood in terms of the intertextual relationship between Hesiod's Works and Days and his Theogony, a relationship which has been established by scholars such as Jean-Pierre Vernant (1980), Glenn Most (1993) and Jenny Strauss Clay (2003). I argue that, in representing Pandora in Works and Days, Hesiod is engaged in a project of expansion which had its roots in his Theogony. Pandora is of more importance to the Iron Age Works and Days than to the divine Theogony; so she is described in greater detail and becomes more of a prominent figure in her own right. Furthermore, I argue that Hesiod does not stop there, but enacts an expansion of the expansion within Works and Days itself, from Zeus' commands to the gods for Pandora's creation at Op. 60–68, to the execution of those commands at 70–80.

“…Первая, жизнетворче-ская, ипостась Персефоны связана с ее матерью Деметрой и символизирована в образе зерна, которое умирает и рождается заново каждую весну. Но Персефона может быть и другой («ужасной» [6], как ее называли греки) в союзе с владыкой подземного царства Аидом. Роль Персефоны в древнегреческом мифе близка роли ребенка в прозе Белого -он так же находится на границе двух миров, меж-ду отцом и матерью, и выступает символом-медиатором [7] для снятия бинарных оппозиций.…”

Аннотация. В статье показано, что философия возникает в Античности как ответ на вы-зовы и угрозы социального хаоса и распада личности. Эту роль философия воплощала на протяжении истории. Раскрывается антифилософский характер софистики, на кото-рую делают ставку субъекты современного глобального хаоса. Можно сделать вывод, что противоборство философии и неософистики в современном глобальном мире является выражением борьбы человечества за саму возможность быть.Ключевые слова: философия, софистика, духовно-интеллектуальные практики, вызов, угроза, ответ, социальный хаос, распад личности THE ESSENCE OF PHILOSOPHY AND ITS ROLE IN HISTORY AND MODERN WORLD M. Kurochko The Military University of the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation 14, Bolshaya Sadovaya st., Moscow, 123001, Russian FederationAbstract. The article proves that philosophy emerges in the ancient world as a response to challenges and threats of social chaos and disintegration of personality. This kind of role philosophy has been playing throughout the history. The author reveals anti-philosophical nature of sophistry in which the subjects of modern global chaos have a stake. It is concluded that the confrontation of philosophy and neosophistry in the modern global world is a realization of mankind's struggle for the opportunity to exist.
