Based on key passages in Hesiod’s Theogony and Bacon’s central fables (Coelum, Orpheus, Cupid, etc.),
discuss the relationship between knowledge of nature, on the one hand (the beginnings and nature of the universe), and self-knowledge or knowledge of human nature (desire for immortality, erotic desire, the role of the Muses, etc.).

Maybe focus on life after death, like Francis bacon decision/restoration (immortality)
