[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [QB] It was claimed there was nothing in print specifically indicating the Nile Valley in Hesiod's passage but there is. Ignoring it doesn't make it go away. Nor does my presenting it give it any endorsement. Mention of the sun's to and fro is an allusion to the sense of Aithiopia extending from the rising of the sun to its setting. Based on other classic authors the understanding of Hesiod here is Greater Aithiopia, Eastern and Western Aithiopia, Asian and African blacks ('dusky' men) though he uses land singular. "Homer alluded to the Ethiopians of two continents, noting that one division was situated towards the sunrise and another towards the sunset; for the Ethiopians are, says the poet: [i] A race divided, whom the sloping rays The rising and the setting sun surveys[/i]." Hansberry 1977 p6 [QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [qb] White's footnote on [i]dusky men[/i] says [QUOTE] i.e., the dark-skinned people of Africa, the Egyptians or Aethiopians.
