Abstract

The article will make a reading of certain fragments of Works and Days that will be the starting point for the search of key concepts that would make habitable a hypothetical new world: justice, logos, virtue, work, and piety. These basic pillars will be considered as “origins” following the definition is given by Jasper in Philosophy from the point of view of existence, that is, a source from which a questioning spirit flows and which produces an interrogative attitude.

We will see how these five principles intersect to encompass the relationships between humans and gods, between strong and weak, just and unjust humans and also how all of them would result in a fair and new oikos capable of harbouring the kosmos desired by the poet.
