Catalogues of Women

The Catalogues of Women, also known as the Ehoiai, was an ancient Greek epic poem attributed to Hesiod. It is believed to have been composed around the 7th or 6th century BCE. The poem's primary focus was on the genealogies of heroes and the women who bore them, particularly those who had unions with gods.1

The Catalogues of Women was a significant work that explored the lineage of many prominent figures in Greek mythology. It detailed the relationships between mortals and deities, tracing the origins of heroic families and noble houses. While much of the poem is lost, surviving fragments provide insight into its content and its role in shaping Greek mythological narratives.1
