Document Summary
Hesiod works and days (2 kind of strife) eris. So, after all, there was not one kind of strife alone, but all over the earth there are two. As for the one, a man would praise her when he came to understand her; but the other is blameworthy: and they are wholly different in nature. For one fosters evil war and battle, being cruel: [15] her no man loves; but perforce, through the will of the deathless gods, men pay harsh strife her due honor. But the other is the elder daughter of dark night, and the son of cronos who sits above and dwells in the aether, he set her in the roots of the earth: and she is far kinder to men. [25] and potter is angry with potter, and craftsman with craftsman, and beggar is jealous of beggar, and minstrel of minstrel.
