Question

Phanocles’s Erotes, part of a body of literature named for one of this author’s works, lists same-sex mythological lovers like Orpheus and Calais using a modified form of the e’hoie formula. This author wins a tripod in a contest at Chalcis (15[1])against his predecessor for his peaceful (15[1])poems, (15[1])as described (15[2])in the Certamen. It’s not Homer, but a poem sometimes identified (-5[1])with this native of Ascra’s poem Megalai Ehoiai (15[1])has sections beginning with “or such as,” which inspired a body of Hellenistic (*) catalogue poetry. This author discussed two (10[1])forms of Eris who respectively cause war and encourage men to action, counseling his brother to avoid the former in a didactic (10[1])agricultural poem. (10[1]-5[3])One of this poet’s works opens with the Heliconian Muses giving him (10[1]-5[1])“a shoot of sturdy laurel” before this brother of Perses begins his song. For 10 points, name this epic poet of (0[1])Works and (10[1]-5[1])Days, (10[4])who recounted (-5[1])divine genealogies (10[1])in his Theogony. (10[3])■END■ (10[3])
