[MD] epistemological first musings and poetry's recognition

[MarshaV]

 From 'Theogony' by Hesiod



411: She is the child of Titans Asteria and Perses (and thus a cousin 
of Artemis and Apollo);

411-15: She is honoured by Zeus above all others, and has been 
granted shares by him in the Sky, Earth, and Sea (Underworld to 
Homer)....an honor to which Hecate already had!

416-18: she is invoked by humans in every sacrifice;

418-20: she grants (or withholds) much favor and success to humans 
who call upon Her;

421-28: she keeps the rights that she held among the Titans, as an 
only child and direct descendant of Gaia, Ouranos and Okeanos 
"(Earth," "Sky" and "Sea");

429-47: she blesses six specific groups of mortals: leaders, 
warriors, athletes, cavalrymen, fisherman.

448-49: she is honoured by all the deities although She is an only child;

450-52: she is kourotrophos ("nurse") to all living things.
