Answer 1

Answer:

A. Shows that he sees women as a great evil.

Explanation:

The epic poem "The Theogony" by Hesoid is basically the creation story or the birth of the gods, it's genealogy and the eventual birth of the world into existence. The whole poem begins with the goddess Gaia, who was thought to be the primordial being for everything on earth.

According to the myth, Gaia emerged out of the complete chaos that was the universe in the beginning. Then she gave birth to Uranus, and then came the other great Greek gods through them. Being the mother of every being on earth, she was responsible for the good and the bad that happened in the world. Bringing forth evil children, while also some good gods, Gaia was the main source and beginning of all the beings. Thus, the creation of humanity in the poem of Hesoid shows or depicts that women are evil.
