ONE OF THE GREATEST uncertainties in the interpretation of the Theogony is whether the poem is concerned with the justice of Zeus. The foundation for contemporary consideration of this question is F. Solmsen's and Aeschylus. Most scholars are probably convinced by him that Hesiod has a firm conviction that Zeus stands for a better order because he knows what kind of world Zeus' government has superseded.2 It is the world of Ouranos and Kronos, the fathers who suppress their children, and Zeus is not as evil as they are
