It is interesting to note that there are similarities
It is interesting to note that there are similarities between Hesiod’s Five Ages of Man and Hinduism’s Four Yugas. The Yuga Cycle is a cyclic age in Hindu cosmology that lasts for 4,320,000 years and repeats four yugas (world ages): Krita (Satya) Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dvapara Yuga, and Kali Yuga 1. As a Yuga Cycle progresses through the four yugas, each yuga’s length and humanity’s general moral and physical state within each yuga decrease by one-fourth 1. Similarly, Hesiod’s Five Ages of Man describes a general descent of man from innocent and pure into evil, with each age a step closer to evil and the destruction of man at the hands of Nemesis and Aidos (goddess of shame) 2.
