In this episode we will take one more look at the different approaches to knowledge and wisdom through the storytelling and myth, vs. the more rational-logic approach of philosophy. We will reference the Theogony of Hesiod, and the in some ways first Greek Philosopher, Thales.

From the opening of the Theogony - as Hesiod consciously taps into the deep of the biology, beauty, inspiration and creativity;

"And one day they taught Hesiod glorious song while he was shepherding his lambs under holy Helicon, and this word first the goddesses said to me -- the Muses of Olympus, daughters of Zeus who holds the aegis:

`Shepherds of the wilderness, wretched things of shame, mere bellies, we know how to speak many false things as though they were true; but we know, when we will, to utter true things.'"

Theogony, v.23-28.
