| Abstract | This article has an aim to study Hesiod’s Theogony in order to understand Mythopoeic Methodology, the methodology through which ancient Greek poets explained the birth of nature and the world in the pre-philosophical period. Theogony is considered to be the best example of cosmogony in the ancient Greek era. Myth, in the form of oral poetry, employs two devises, analogy and personification, to explain the idea of nature and truth. Besides the idea of remembering and finding, the concept of “truth” in the mythopoetry demonstrates the idea of universality and the beginning of things (ἀρχή- archē). This, therefore, suggests that there is a continuity of thoughts between the period of mythopoetry and philosophy. The article uses close Reading and Etymology as its study methods. Therefore, it is recommended that the Bachelor of Laws program be offered at more Buddhist universities in Thailand to cover the provision of public services in legal education in all areas. |
