The Wedding of Peleus and Thetis
Like the marriage of Helen, the birth of Achilles was an event that played a major part in the climax of the Heroic Age, and the wedding of his parents Peleus and Thetis was granted elaborate coverage in the Catalogue. The wedding would have come among the descendents of Peleus' father Aeacus (fr. 205), who was a son of Zeus and the nymph Aegina. She was a daughter of the river Asopus, and West posits a group ehoiai Asopids, which he speculatively assigns to book 4. Peleus' biography in the poem was paralleled in two of Pindar's "Aeginitan Odes", Nemean 4 and 5. He caught the eye of Hippolyte, the wife of Acastus, king of Iolcus.

Coronis
In the Homeric Hymn to Asclepius, Coronis, the daughter of Phlegyas, is said to be the mother of the healing god. In the most famous version of the Coronis–Asclepius myth, Apollo had already impregnated her when she cheated on the god with Ischys. A crow tattled on the lovers, and an angry Apollo turned the bird from white to black. A fragment concerning this latter detail is ascribed to 'Hesiod' by the scholia to Pindar, Pythia 3:

The Catalogue and archaic epic
It has been observed that the Catalogue poet betrays a style that is "studiously imitative" of the Theogony and Works and Days, that occasionally betrays an awkward appropriation of language found in the "canonical" Hesiodic poems.

The Women
The view of women expressed in the canonical poems of Hesiod, the Theogony and Works and Days, displays what has been called a "raw misogyny", a stance that may seem out of keeping with a tradition that would allow the Catalogue of Women to be attributed to the poet.

Draft space
The repeated use of the introductory phrase "or such as ..." implies and initial "such as ...", and it is like that this first woman to be introduced was Pyrrha, wife of Deucalion. There is some debate about whether the Catalogue included an account of the Flood myth, but the creation of a race of humans born from stones cast by Deucalion and Pyrrha does appear to have figured in the poem. Zeus unsurprisingly had first pick from the catalogue of women, and sired Hellen by Pyrrha. There were also three daughters in the house of Deucalion: Thyia, Protogeneia and Pandora, who was named for her maternal grandmother, the famous Pandora. These three also lay with Zeus, bearing heroes from whom several early Greek tribes were though to descend. Thyia bore Magnes and Macedon; Protogeneia bore Aethlius, the great-grandfather of Aetolus; and Pandora's son was Graecus.
