Theogony and Genesis 1

"What are the main differences between Genesis 1 and Theogony?"

     The main differences between these two pieces of literature are very drastic indeed!

     In Genesis we see that God creates things and they are good.  In the Theogony we see a lot of chaos. Unlike the Bible, in the Theogony many things were created out of trickery or wrong doing.

     Here is another main difference between the two.  God is said to be all powerful but the Greek gods in the Theogony are not.  The Greek gods rely on one another to do certain things, whereas God does not need anyone's help or permission in order to preform tasks.

     Another one is that the gods are all born but God just always was.  He had no beginning and no end but the Greek gods, although undying, did not always exist.  

     It is also worth stating the similarities between the Theogony and Genesis.
   
     Both in the Bible and the Theogony, men were created before women.

     Another similarity is that they both have a head honcho (God and Zeus).

     We also see that they both have that which is supernatural (God in the Bible and the Greek gods in the Theogony).

     We can see many similarities and differences between these two amazing pieces of written art!  Thanks for reading!
