Which early Greek work details the creation story?

• A. Homer's Iliad
• B. Sophocles' Antigone
• C. Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound
• D. Hesiod's Theogony

Answer: (D)

The main concept tested here is how the world and its divine beings are said to have begun in early Greek literature. Hesiod's Theogony is the foundational cosmogony and theogony, detailing the origins of the cosmos—from primordial Chaos and Gaia to the birth of the Titans and the rise of Zeus—so it directly provides the creation story and the genealogy of the gods. That explicit focus on origins sets it apart from the other works: the Iliad centers on the Trojan War and human deeds, the Antigone tragedy explores law, duty, and family conflict, and Prometheus Bound, while mythic, concentrates on Prometheus's punishment rather than a full account of creation.
