Greek Myth XXVIII: Pseudo-Apollodorus’s Bibliotheca Book I, Chapter II – Theogony: War of the Titans, or So… There Was This War…

Posted byTriumvir ClioPosted inGreek Myth, The Greeks

We learn all about the War of the Titans in today’s episode… Sort of… Not really… 

Discussion Prompts
  1. Metis. Discuss.
  2. Campe is female and is replaced as guardian of Tartarus by the male Hundred-handed Ones. What does this say about gender status prior to the Olympians and after?
  3. Do you think this work survived the ages in the correct order? Why or why not?

I have a BA in History and Classical Civilization from Loyola University Chicago and an MPH from Western Michigan University. I've been a geometry teacher, a religion teacher, a writing tutor. I'm a writer, a knitter, a dancer, a singer, an actor. And, yes, for fun I like to reread everything that was assigned while getting my classics degree.
