Hesiod describes five races of mankind, which is not one of them?
Bronze Race
Iron Race
Diamond Race
Silver Race
Answer
Contrary to popular belief, the Diamond Race is not a concept originating from Hesiod's writings on human generations. Hesiod's classification encompasses the Golden, Silver, Bronze, Heroic, and Iron races, each representing distinct characteristics and societal epochs. The exclusion of the Diamond Race highlights the uniqueness and diversity of Hesiod's classification system.
