Volumul de față își propune să demonstreze că orice discuție privitoare la cosmogoniile presocratice trebuie să se refere atât la teogonii, cât și la cosmogoniile de factură filosofică, de vreme ce procesele lingvistice folosite în descrierea începutului universului rămân, totuși, aceleași. Primele încercări de a crea termeni specifici se pot găsi chiar la autori timpurii precum Homer sau orficii; pe de altă parte, procesul de hipocogniție funcționează la fel de bine și la autorii de teogonii, și la filosofi, care plăsmuiesc nenumărate variante ale metaforei nașterii sau chiar creează metafore complet originale, toate având același scop: să le facă teoriile cât mai limpezi cu putință. Dreptatea cosmică a lui Anaximandru, tichia de pâslă a lui Anaximene, flacăra lui Heraclit, răscrucea lui Parmenide, versurile lui Empedocle și semințele lui Anaxagora – fiecare dintre ele reprezintă câte un pas important în lunga călătorie de la nașterea zeilor până la întrebarea metafizică „oare cum se poate naște ceva?”.

Ancient Greek Cosmogony is the first detailed, comprehensive account of ancient Greek theories of the origins of the world. It covers the period from 800 BC to 600 AD, beginning with myths concerning the creation of the world; the cosmogonies of all the major Greek and Roman thinkers; and the debate between Greek philosophical cosmogony and early Christian views. It argues that Greeks formulated many of the perennial problems of philosophical cosmogony and produced philosophically and scientifically interesting answers. The atomists argued that our world was one among many worlds, and came about by chance. Plato argued that it is unique, and the product of design. Empedocles and the Stoics, in quite different ways, argued that there was an unending cycle whereby the world is generated, destroyed and generated again. Aristotle on the other hand argued that there was no such thing as cosmogony, and the world has always existed. Reactions to, and developments of, these ideas are traced through Hellenistic philosophy and the debates in early Christianity on whether God created the world from nothing or from some pre-existing chaos. The book examines issues of the origins of life and the elements for the ancient Greeks, and how the cosmos will come to an end. It argues that there were several interesting debates between Greek philosophers on the fundamental principles of cosmogony, and that these debates were influential on the development of Greek philosophy and science.

"With admirable erudition, Lopez-Ruiz brings to life intimacies and exchanges between the ancient Greeks and their Northwest Semitic neighbors, portraying the ancient Mediterranean as a fluid, dynamic contact zone. She explains networks of circulation, shows creative uses of traditional material by peoples in motion, and radically transforms our understanding of ancient cosmogonies."---Page duBois, author of Out of Athens: The New Ancient Greeks --

In Miletus, about 550 B.C., together with our world-picture cosmology was born. This book tells the story. In Part One the reader is introduced in the archaic world-picture of a flat earth with the cupola of the celestial vault onto which the celestial bodies are attached. One of the subjects treated in that context is the riddle of the tilted celestial axis. This part also contains an extensive chapter on archaic astronomical instruments. Part Two shows how Anaximander (610-547 B.C.) blew up this archaic world-picture and replaced it by a new one that is essentially still ours. He taught that the celestial bodies orbit at different distances and that the earth floats unsupported in space. This makes him the founding father of cosmology. Part Three discusses topics that completed the new picture described by Anaximander. Special attention is paid to the confrontation between Anaxagoras and Aristotle on the question whether the earth is flat or spherical, and on the battle between Aristotle and Heraclides Ponticus on the question whether the universe is finite or infinite.
