    Has there been any serious research into 700 BCE buttock decorating? Asking for a friend.

            From the whole paragraph, that would be 70 sons.

            Makes sense as Zeus was well known for his affairs with mortal women using various disguises.

    I’m wondering if Hesiod was referring to jewelry, fancy clothes, or tattoos.

    I always interpreted this as a willful mistranslation considering what a granary looks like.

      Back in the day being rich means owning lots of land and harvesting lots of crops from it. Grain means money.
