Hesiod invokes the goddesses, the Fates at the beginning of the Theogony.
False
Yes, Hesiod does invoke the goddesses, the Fates, at the beginning of the Theogony.
In the Theogony, Hesiod invokes the Muses to inspire him to tell the story of the origins of the world and the gods. However, before he begins his tale, Hesiod first calls upon the goddesses, the Fates, who are also known as the Moirai, who control the destinies of mortals and gods alike.
Hesiod asks the Fates to bless his song and to help him deliver the truth. He also acknowledges their power over all things and their immortal existence as daughters of the goddess of justice, Themis, and Zeus.
This invocation of the Fates serves to establish the epic nature of the Theogony, and sets a tone of authority and respect for the gods, and the power they hold over the universe.
