Abstract

A minor mystery in Hesiod's 'Theogony', centering on the Melian Nymphs, in order to assess the suggestions, both ancient and modern, that the Melian Nymphs were the mothers of the human race is examined. It is concluded that there are several major structural similarities between the Hesiodic myth of the castration of Ouranos and the 'Orphic' myth of Zagreus giving rise to the 'Titanic' race of men, as given by Olympiodorus and Proclus.
