Before the creation of humanity, the Greek gods won a great battle against a race of giants called the Titans. Most Titans were destroyed or driven to the eternal hell of Tartarus. But the Titan Prometheus, whose name means foresight, persuaded his brother Epimetheus to fight with him on the side of the Gods. Iseult Gillespie shares the myth of Prometheus.

Let's not forget he had the power to see the future. He knew exactly what would happened to him, and yet did it anyway. Absolute mad respect for him.
Could that also be fate? He had no free will to make that choice cause the future dictated his actions.
@@chamgod007 Fate would have let humans living in darkness and fear. Prometheus challenged fate by giving them, or well us, the power of fire.
@Amritpal Singh yeeeaahh...no.
@Amritpal Singh are you religious?
Like Eren Yeager
So, let me get this straight -
- Prometheus means "Foresight"?
- He and his brother joins the Gods to defeat the Titans
- Prometheus creates humans and later gives them "Fire" (Or the means to no longer need the Gods)
- He is imprisoned and tortured
- Later he is freed by the son of the one who locked him up
- Centuries/Millennia have passed and humans almost no longer worship the Greek pantheon
- Greek Gods now seen as nothing more than myth and legend

Fun fact:when Hercules had do his 12 labors, one of them was to kill the bird that attacked prometheus every day, after Prometheus was freed, Zeus didn't imprison him again since Hercules was his son and probably reputation, so Prometheus was saved by Hercules
fun fact: you are wrong, killing the bird wasn't one of the labors but rather a side quest he just happened to cross close to where prometheus was, killed the bird and unchained prometheus without knowing who he was later zeus informs him that he cannot let prometheus escape his punishment unless someone takes his place then the centaur chiron gives his inmortality away in exchange for prometheus freedom.
@@gillettematch3188 Are you sure? From the version I read, Prometheus was to be bound forever to the mountain, so he wore a ring crafted out of the metal of his chains topped by a piece of rock(rock from the mountains). The death of Chiron was unrelated to this event.

The Greek gods are so petty. They're more human than humans. Prometheus acts more like a god than Zeus.
Tofu Kingpin yes but this is the beutty of greek mythology.The gods can love ,become angry,cheat on each other etc.something that depicts us and that was giving some reasons to think about human nature,that the gods sometimes do mistakes etc.Also you must know that greeks were and still are very confident persons who thought can think before they act.We are learning those myths to become better people in our lives!That is the beuty of greek mythology!:)
It depends on your definition of GOD.
He is the best
So, Kratos (protagonist of "God of war") could be a hero for killing all the gods.
agreed.
What's interesting is the liver actually does have amazing regenerative properties. It's said you can lose up to 49% (about half of your liver) and have the entire thing grow back.
God: "Do this in this way."

God: "I'm going to start torturing you now."

Prometheus also had the power to see the future. Hundreds of years later, Heracles happened to meet him on his way to the 11th labor. He killed the bird and broke the chains. Prometheus helped him with the labor in return.
But when Zeus punished Prometheus, he cursed him to be chained on this rock forever and now he couldn't take his words back. He (Zeus) asked Hephaestus to make a ring using metal from the chains and put a little piece of the mountain inside. In this way Prometheus could now live free despite the curse :)
But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.
1 Samuel 16:7, now how do we distinguish these people? Matthew 7:19-20 Jesus says Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

@@sebasmsmsm That's irony for ya
Y a y
Good to know
The story of Prometheus has been misinterpreted and modified in the last two centuries especially by romantic writers to make Prometheus look like a hero or benefactor.
In short, for centuries since Antiquity Prometheus has been viewed by poets, writers and authors as a lowly, jealous trickster who did not help or benefit anybody by his actions. He stole fire by hubris and envy, he hid it or misused it without helping anyone, and he was justly held accountable and punished, and when the time was right he was justly released by Herakles/Hercules under the instructions or with the permission of Zeus.
The violent, inaccurate, senseless god of war game will be dealt with appropriately in the next few decades.
Prometheus seems like the best mix between an older brother and a dad.
Brometheus or Papametheus
I feel like Brometheus is better

he's better, according to literally everyone in these comments
In Greece, this myth is part of what we have to learn to write in our uni entrance exams. Ancient Greek grammar and syntax is tiring but philosophy always calms be down. I guess I am thankful that we have such amazing stories to learn. Along with the cave myth or however it's called in English by Aristotle where the chained human got free and saw the beauty of the outside.
I just saw Oppenheimer and OMG what similarities of a Greek myth to real life history!
"you gave them the power to destroy themselves"
Honestly hate the Oppenheimer-Prometheus comparisons. Prometheus gave humans a necessary tool for survival, Oppenheimer gave us a bomb that killed hundreds of thousands of people and condemned many more to constant agonizing pain and birth defects

@@JJean64 Yes we would he didn't discover nuclear energy he just turned it into a bomb. People already knew it was a good source of energy.
Wow, he was a true hero. He gave everything. He never regretted his acts as they helped so many lives, even in his eternal anguish.
Jack this comment is hilarious.
It wasn’t eternal he was freed
what make prometheus extra admirable is that he must've had the foresight to know what his fate would be if he defied zeus, yet he does it anyway because that's how much he care for humanity.
If he had foresight he also would have seen Herakles coming to save him
@@Munsterkitteh tbf it's in some versions of the myth.
It's a prime example of doing what's right even in the face of dire consequences. A reminder that justice often necessitates self sacrifice.
Gods: *are immortal*

@@deathbringer4128 That's what I mean bro...
when the video ended I was like "hey, that's not how it ends, Heracles freed Prometheus". because yes, since we are talking about the original Greek version of the myth, its Heracles, Hercules is the Roman version of Heracles, Hercules is the son of Jupiter, Heracles is the son of Zeus.
Full respect to a powerful man who worked to give people power rather than eternally holding it over them and forcing them to submit to him.
1:43 he wanted to knew if zeus was a god or just another guy with power... And he succeeded in knowing that zeus was just another guy with power

@Trollerlel009
That was in the Epic of Gilgamesh, correct?
@Trollerlel009?
It could be the other way around
Those similarities are due to cultural exchanges between different civilizations when they had contact with each other. Merchants, immigrants and travellers would likely share language, culture, religion, experience and general knowlege whenever they travelled to other places. So of course this would cause similarities and reinterpretations of stories and myths.
Jews copied a lot of ancient greek mythology. This is a perfect example.
@@johnnygyro2295 Yes. The character in the Epic of Gilgamesh is Utnapishtim.
Great video, I truly enjoyed! Thanks for always being there for me when no one else is. Literally.
the fact that Aeon beat Tartarus makes this 10x more funnier
Ugh, people in the comments comparing Prometheus to Lucifer.
First of all, those two characters' motivations are completely different: Prometheus rebelled to benefit humanity while Lucifer rebelled to benefit himself.
Secondly, stop trying to fit stories that developed in pre-Christian cultures into Abrahamic cookie cutters. Not all mythologies are "Christianity dressed in a different skin".
Yeah, i don't get this people, Prometheus is this myth created human kind and loved us, gave us fire to take care of ourselves and Lucifer is the complete opposite
Exactly.
TheaterRaven both are myths so...
I'm pretty sure everyone knows that the Greek mythos predated Christianity as we understand it by thousands of years. Most intelligent people also know where Christianity as we know it comes from, and that the Greeks were a major cultural exporter across the mediterranean area and far beyond. Many also acknowledge that the cosmos are a big part of early mythopoeia, and Venus is a symbol tied (though I'm not sure how tenuously) to both figures.
This isn't about cookie cutters, or about making Abrahamic religion more relevant than it already is. It's about recognizing the transference of information, and the persistence of both archetypes and narratives.
Do what you will. I'd like to read some good-spirited discussion on the matter.
For your consideration, a quote from "Prometheus-Demon" by Henry Lanz, for the journal of Slavic Studies, 1997: "As it is characteristic of Christianity, in the development of this particular theme as in everything else, the ancient Greek tradition joins hands with Hebrew speculations concerning Creation, and thus gradually Prometheus is transformed into Lucifer, or Satan, or Mephisto, or Cain, or whatever other name he may assume." Also, in more depth, the book Lucifer and Prometheus: a study of Milton's Satan by Werblowsky.

What I find really interesting about this myth is that the ancient Greeks chose, specifically, his liver to regenerate, when we now know it’s one of the few or only organs that can entirely regenerate itself.
why is that?? it seems too much of a coincidence for me

In Greek mythology, Prometheus was a wise craftsman who taught humans many useful skills, including navigation, writing, and architecture.
and he gave human ability to eat meat so... You meat eaters... you have Prometheus to thank for that because if he didn't you would be eating bone by now.

DisinfoHasbuiltAnarmyofidiots era of ignorance. good question
Paul Tremblay The liver regenerated because Prometheus is not a mortal and he can regenerate
the liver can grow back but it won't be as great as the original. there is actually a limit on how many times your liver can regrow before it can't work well enough.
The way Zeus condescendingly point fingers is humourous.😂
I did this myth for a project in school, where we had to draw comics of a myth of our choice. This was the only one I heard of from the options we were given. I knew it would get violent at the end, so I had to ask my teacher “Can I draw someone’s liver being ripped out?”

Fun Fact: In another version of this myth, Zeus does not get intervene to the creation of man. This version suggests that Prometheus' brother, Epimetheus, wasted all luxury and enforcements to the other animals and when finally it is the humans' turn to be finalized, he has nothing left to give to them (Epimetheus' name means the opposite of Prometheus', thinking after acting). So, when Zeus throws heavy cold on humans to punish Prometheus for siding with them instead of the Gods, Prometheus steals a coal from Hephaestus' forgery and it is him who teaches humans how to use fire!
I'd love to see a story following the exploits of Loki & Prometheus as they work together to frustrate the plans of the Greek and Norse pantheons 😅

According to ancient stories and mythology, Zeus was never defeated or overthrown.
Zeus was among other thïngs called the Lord of justice and the protector of oaths and of the weak. He was fair in his actions towards others.
Zeus was also known by other names in other places in Antiquity.
