10 multiple choice questions (each worth 0. 5 of a point) A. d. gladiator the founder of rome the first roman emperor a greek dude. Lecture plan: first and second generations of gods, prometheus the trickster and the creation of men, the rise of zeus. Not a single connected version in greek myth. Miletus argued that the origin of life came from water. Water was not a defined force but a physical element. He tried to give a model of the world explained with rational reasons rather than mythical ones. According to herodotus, it"s homer and hesiod who were the first to do so these authors are the first and the most famous. Theogeny is an interpretation of the arrangement of the world in hesiod"s time; an ar- rangement in which zeus reigns and it"s the story of zeus" rise to power as king of the gods.
