Theogony

Hesiod's poem on the birth of the gods, in which the poet names himself and says the Muses taught him on Helicon; it runs from Chaos through the castration of Heaven, the swallowing and rescue of Zeus, the Titanomachy, Typhon and the acclamation of Zeus to his marriages, and breaks off into a catalogue of goddesses and women. Read here in Evelyn-White's Loeb translation.
