The project aims at the first critical edition of Tzetzes’ Theogony, which is a creative paraphrase of Hesiod’s Theogony and consists of approximately 855 political verses. My intention is to establish a reliable text of Tzetzes' poem by examining its manuscript tradition, its language, meter and style. Furthermore, I intend to provide a literary analysis of the text and explore its relation to the historical-cultural context of the Komnenian period.
