[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] @Nodnarb Noted. Now people try to pin-point Hesiod's sunny area to the Nile Valley. It really doesn't stop, does it? From intuition I'm a 97% certain that they did, but can someone familiar with Greek thought confirm that they considered the sun to rise and set along the equator (i.e. the southernmost territory of the eastern [Asiatic] and western Aethiopians known to Greeks) and NOT over Egypt? [QUOTE] Originally posted by Nodnarb: [QUOTE]And it does not blow through the tender maiden who stays indoors with her dear mother, unlearned as yet in the works of golden Aphrodite, and who washes her soft body and anoints herself with oil and lies down in an inner room within the house, on a winter's day when the Boneless One [octopus or cuttle] gnaws his foot in his fireless house and wretched home; for the sun shows him no pastures to make for, [b]but goes to and fro over the land and city of dusky men [the southern Aethiopians], and shines more sluggishly upon the whole race of the Hellenes.[/b][/QUOTE]—Hesiod[/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
