“…Felsefe öncesi dönemde Yunan medeniyetinin bir diğer önemli şairi olan Hesiodos, Homeros gibi Yunan kültürünün oluşmasında oldukça önemli bir yere sahiptir. Hesiodos, eserlerinde ölümsüzlük için ahlak ve erdemi vurgulamış, ruhun ölmemesi için ahlaki niteliklere sahip olması gerektiğini belirtmiştir (Walcot, 1961;McPherran, 2005;Mújdricza, 2017;Molacı, 2019). Son olarak, adını Orpheus ismindeki bir şairden ve liristten alan Orpheizm ise ezoterik öğretilere de esin kaynağı olmuş; ruhun göçünü ve inisiyasyonu savunmuştur.…”

The efforts of ancient philosophers to understand people and the world center on the nature of creation and the concept of spirit and God. The term "psyche" (ψυχή), which comes from ancient Greek, has acquired different meanings depending on the philosophers of each age. In monotheistic religions, it is the soul, which activates the body and provides a goal for the individual, but it is distinct from the concrete individual; it is not an entity that lives on after the individual dies. The term has also been used in such senses as the logic, idea, spiritual element, and essence of man, his values, and his personality. This study uses content analysis to identify the dominant categories through which the notion of psyche and the thought system of the Pre-Socratic philosophers more broadly, including abstract concepts such as creation, death, goal, and spirit, are presented to a child audience. Animated films, whose main target audience is children, are a communication tool that assumes a social function, just like popular media products in other categories. But children make sense of the world differently from adults, which affects how the contents of such films are structured and presented, especially in terms of the connection established between image and reality. The study's main questions consist of the following: Through what perspective does the film Soul present the abstract concepts it contains? In which philosophical period it does it present the question of existence (on which ontological philosophy is based)? And which thoughts of the Pre-Socratic philosophers take shape around the issue of existence and spirit, and which ones are excluded from the framework?

“…We are being made increasingly aware of the types of sophistication possible in oral poetry, and how these qualities are present in the Works & Days (see, for example, Walcot (1961); Kumaniecki (1963); Beye (1972)). In the past, the response has typically been to see in the supposed stiffness and disorganisation of expression of the Works & Days a reflection of Hesiod's rustic origins.…”

“…The most recent discussion is by West (1981). As for West's point about the 'laboured quality' of the composition, Walcot (1961) seems to argue in favour of Hesiod's literacy on precisely the opposite grounds; namely, the conciseness and directness of Hesiod's narrative, coupled with the delicately balanced judgement of his expression (16). West also suggests that the 'laboured quality' of much of the composition of the Hesiodic poems is indicative of 'painful written rather than unencumbered oral creation.'…”

“…Vernant (1971b) extrae como conclusión que cada uno de los pares se refiere a ámbitos diferentes (él llama "teológi-co-jurídico" al primero, y "guerrero" al segundo). Sin pretender negar la sutileza de esta distinción -que, a juicio nuestro, está excesivamente influida por el destino post-mortem de los integrantes de cada edad -creemos que el marcado "realismo" presente en la descripción de las Edades de Bronce y de los Héroes, opuesto a la notoria "irrealidad" de las dos primeras Edades, ofrece una perspectiva analítica seguramente más fértil.…”

Resumen: Según su esquema de las cinco Edades o Razas de la humanidad, Hesíodo dice vivir en la Edad de Hierro, y se lamenta: "Hubiese querido morir antes o nacer después". Una interpretación superficial del mito podría sostener que, dado el carácter cíclico del tiempo, la historia volverá a repetirse y en el futuro habrá una nueva Edad de Oro, en la cual Hesíodo hubiese preferido nacer. Nada más erróneo: la Tierra ya no es la madre universal, ya se inventó la mujer, los seres humanos nacen ya por unión sexual, ya existe la obligación de trabajar. Un regreso al pasado es imposible, ergo, impensable. Para explicar ese extraño deseo de "nacer después" proponemos la Abstract: According to the scheme of five ages or races of mankind, Hesiod affirms to live in the Iron Age, and complains: "I would rather die before or be born afterwards" (Op.175). A superficial interpretation of the myth could argued that, given the cyclical nature of time, history will repeat, and in the future there will be a new golden age, in which Hesiod would have preferred to be born. Nothing more wrong: the Earth is no longer the universal mother, woman was yet invented, human beings are now born by sexual union, and men must work for living. A return to the past is impossible, ergo, unthinkable. In order to explain the strange wish of "born afterwards" I propose the following hypothesis: the first four Ages (three traditional: Gold, Silver, Bronze, and the fourth, them of Heroes, added by Hesiod to justify the historical past) are paradigms to follow. With these four paradigms in view, Hesiod faces his time, the conflictive Age of Iron. According to the model that will follow, the future will be pleasant or negative. All depends on the values chosen, justice or injustice, respect for the gods or their lack of understanding. Everything is possible, because Hope stayed always hidden in the jar of Pandora.
