Examples
“1966, M. L. West (editor), Hesiod, Theogony: edited with prolegomena and commentary by M.L. West, Oxford University Press (Clarendon Press), page 337, A more important difference between the Titanomachy and Ragnarok is that the Norse gods, the Æsir, do not fight against other gods who are afterwards bound, but against an assortment of giants and monsters who have hitherto been bound […] .”
“His^([Thallus’]) history was arranged in three books, and, in part, by olympiads, and covered material from the Titanomachy (dated to 322 years before the Trojan war) to at least the Crucifixion.”
“Likewise, the tragedy's treatment of the Titanomachy departs significantly from the Hesiodic account. It has been suggested that the PV^([Prometheus Vinctus]) may be informed by the Cyclic epic Titanomachy attributed to Eumelus (or Arctinus),⁷² especially since an entry in Hesychius' Lexicon⁷³ has led some to believe that both Prometheus' involvement in the Titanomachy and his change of allegiance were elements of that Cyclic epic.”
