    Wonderful stuff! The myth of Prometheus is one of my favorites as he was one of the few gods that was unflinching in his devotion to humanity.

    I may have heard, read and seen this myth like 5 times by now, but as Prometheus is objectively the greatest and most awesomest entity of greek mythology, I can't force myself to miss out on yet another take on this.

    Prometheus makes man out of clay. Enki makes man out of clay. Khnum make man out of clay. All are associated with water. All have brothers. Each culture appears to tell the story from a different angle.

    The reason I like Prometheus is that he didn’t steal The Flame of Olympus out of spite but out of love. He was being selfless and got punished for it

      He can see into the future meaning he knew he would get punished but decided to do it anyway for humanity also in the story I heard it was said that even after getting punished he did not regret helping humanity

      Oh My God!!! YEAH!!!! I Remember That Show!!!! I used to love that show when I was a kid!!! Ugh! Nickelodeon hasn't shown that show in YEARS!!! It's NEVER been on since way, way back in the very beginning of Nickelodeon's time! Nowadays that show is so underrated!
      And nobody ever even seem to remember that that show has actually existed so long ago. It's like it doesn't exist anymore to anybody in this day in this day age, It's just like a long distance memory that no one ever seems to talk about anymore! Man! Where does history ever repeat itself?! It's good every once
      in a while just to reunite with the past times, and bring back those old memories, while just taking a little trip down memory lane, and bringing back the inner past times of that nostalgia of those old shows, and getting a blast from the past with the very old and forgotten memories! Ahhh... Just where
      do the old times go? Time just flies by everytime, just as life catches on with older you get... By the way, Hell Yeah! I remember Prometheus and Bob! I haven't seen that show in "YEARS"!!! But I never forgot about it!! And always treasured it as my inner nostalgic motives!!! 😎 👍... Oh Yeah...

    Do more mythology. There is so much that goes unappreciated. the fennel stalk part is especially interesting. From what I understand, before Man knew how to create fire, he had to carry it around everywhere, isn't that right? After all, why wouldn't humanity be able to create fire themselves? Why in the story, did it need to be carried down from the mountain? This story might be an especially old throwback to that time.

  • @boldcounsel9406
    @boldcounsel9406 ปีที่แล้ว

    Prometheus isn't the god of fire. If he was he wouldn't have to steal it. He is just a turncoat, who betrayed his own nature by not having the forethought to NOT leave all the gifts with his twin - Epimetheus (a bad move that even I foresaw when I first heard the story).
    Further, publicly tricking Zeus is 'foreseeably' un-wise and wasn't for anything huge - the best parts of one animal during special feasts. That's nothing compared to Pandora's box/jar.
    He's not a hero, nor god of fire, and seemingly not the god of forethought either.

    Consider this if Zeus steals fire from humans but humans do not die because of it. How is that possibly worse than having the fire, having the science, stealing the religion if all it amounts to is unleashing all the evils of the world? The whole moral of the story is NOT about how cruel gods torture people, rather, how in the pursuit of riches we end up harming ourselves and others.
    I agree with the idea you do more harm than good when you set your sights as low as money, however, I disagree with the idea we should be oblivious to our environment

    Promethus created MAN as in the Males. Women were created by the collective cooperation of the Gods as a punishment and curse to Men because anicent Greeks hated women. Its weird that even eternal Male Gods like Zeus needed female Goddess like Hera but Promethous didn't see the need to create woman for the mortal men he created. Promethous idea of a perfect race was a group of celibate Incel males with no women. I'm sure he knew what a perfect woman looked like when he interacted with Goddesses such as Athena and Aphrodite but he felt no need to create women to be with his own perfect creation? Isnt Promethous surpossed to be the God of Foresight?🤨🤨🤨

    The Creator is Allaah Exalted and Most High ☝️🕋 as is well known. To whom belongs the Kingdom of the Seven Heaven's and Earth 🌎 and all in Between. Everything comes as his Creation so Worship is only for him for which we are Created too. Idol Diety and Statue Worship,Norse,Sumerian,Aztek,Avatars,Guru's and Greek Gods or Goddesses are no more than Untrue Myths that have no right to be Worshipped and so why all False Dietys are forbidden by the Prophet Ibraheem until the last day.. God's Grace and Mercy comes free so nobody needs to go through any Idols. Prophet Ibraheem was the Father of the Prophet's and all The Prophet's were Paternal Brothers so no exemption can be made, even with the Final and Seal of the Messengers. Prophet Muhammad. Peace be upon them all and families.
