In LOVE with the myth that Hesiod and Homer had a singing battle in ancient Greece (they had the original rap beef I suppose)

I believe that when Zeus lives with his chthonic family, he always covers his face because his eyes are the sun, which is too bright for the shades of the underworld.

For easily he grants one strength, easily kneecaps the strong, Easily shrinks the seen-by-all and increases the unseen, Easily makes the crooked straight and withers the courageous-- Zeus the Thunderer-on-High, who dwells within the highest halls. ῥέα μὲν γὰρ βριάει, ῥέα δὲ βριάοντα χαλέπτει, ῥεῖα δ᾽ ἀρίζηλον μινύθει καὶ ἄδηλον ἀέξει, ῥεῖα δέ τ᾽ ἰθύνει σκολιὸ�� καὶ ἀγήνορα κάρφει Ζεὺς ὑψιβρεμέτης, ὃς ὑπέρτατα δώματα ναίει. -Hesiod, Works and Days 5-8

As we approach the end of August, let us turn to the pages of Hesiod's Works and Days (Ἔργα καὶ Ἡμέραι), where, in Apostolos Athanassakis' translation, it reads:
When the thistle blooms and the chirping cicada sits on trees and pours down shrill song from frenziedly quivering wings in the toilsome summer, then goats are fatter than ever and wine is at its best; women's lust knows no bounds and men are all dried up, because the dog star parches their heads and knees and the heat sears their skin.
(ll. 582-588)

Reading Hesiod's work is sort of like reading a long historical text where the author takes random breaks throughout to talk about how women are the root of all evil

Inktober Día 24 - Pandora
Y aquella mujer, levantando la tapa de un gran vaso que tenía en sus manos esparció sobre los hombres las miserias horribles. Únicamente la Esperanza quedó en el vaso, detenida en los bordes, y no echó a volar porque Pandora había vuelto a cerrar la tapa por orden de Zeus tempestuoso que amontona las nubes.

Pat Bagley : Salt Lake Tribune

"There is a noise when Justice is being dragged in the way where those who devour bribes and give sentence with crooked judgements, take her. And she, wrapped in mist, follows to the city and haunts of the people, weeping, and bringing mischief to men, even to such as have driven her forth in that they did not deal straightly with her." ゆ "Talk is mischievous, light, and easily raised, but hard to bear and difficult to be rid of. Talk never wholly dies away when many people voice her: even Talk is in some ways divine." - Hesiod translated by Hugh G. Evelyn-White Works and Days

"Hesiod is a less familiar name to the general reader than Homer, Aeschylus, or Plato, and no one would claim that he is as great a writer as they...If I have sometimes made Hesiod sound a little quaint and stilted, that is not unintentional; he is."
--M.L. West, introduction to his translations of the Theogony and Works and Days (Oxford World's Classics)
"Oh, yeah? Let's see whether anything you wrote is still read and discussed 2,700 years later, you pompous and now-deceased blowhard! ...Ahem. Sorry. I do get worked up sometimes."
--Me
