Keywords:

cosmology, deities, elements, Hesiod, Theogony

Abstract

In this article I have two objectives: to dismantle the theories about the Theogony of Hesiod, which identify some deities of the Greek pantheon with cosmic regions and abstractions, and, at the same time, to clarify how the elements, regions or ambits ruled by these deities are like, searching the connections between Hesiod and the following authors: Homer, Aeschylus, Aristophanes, Plato, Apollodorus, Diogenes Laertius, Quintus Smirnaeus and Nonnus of Panopolis.
