Abstract
Ben Edwin Perry's 1937 TAPA article, "The Early Greek Capacity for Seeing Things Separately," is no longer as famous as it once was, but although dated in some ways, it still raises significant questions. This paper examines the stories of Prometheus-Pandora in both the Theogony and Works and Days and the Myth of Races, arguing that the poet accepted their contradictions because he was not aiming at exact historical truth, but an adequate account of the human condition.
