Greek mythology, the titan Prometheus helped the gods win a war against other titans. Prometheus was a caring titan who greatly helped the humans survive in the cruel world. Prometheus was a trickster, and he taught the humans how to get away with making unfair offerings to the gods, giving the humans better food than the gods. He also took fire from the gods to give to the humans as a gift. With fire, humans could live with ease. Zeus, however, greatly disliked what Prometheus had done. In…

purpose. Mankind is just there. According to Ovid in the beginning there appears to be guidance with not as much chaos. Things seem to be in somewhat order and he assumes that we should know how the Gods came to be. In Hesiod's story of creation Prometheus tricks Zeus, but all of mankind gets punished. Therefor from this trickery Zeus floods the world to kill the humans, so he can create them again; however two humans survive the flood because of their innoncence and piety…

Hesiod in Works and Days explains human failures through a myth known as “Pandora’s Box” (Hesiod). Prometheus stole fire from Zeus for man, and in turn Zeus sent a woman named Pandora with a deceitful nature and a jar filled with plagues for mankind. She inevitably opened the jar and unleashed evil upon the world. This myth shows that the Greeks believed…

I think the most miserable character is Prometheus, who stole fire from the throne of Zeus to his loved people. For this reason he was published brutally by Zeus, who had Prometheus chained to a rock on top of a high mountain called Mount Caucasus, and sent a great vulture every day to feed upon his liver, which was consumed by day, and by night grew again. Zeus said he must stay in this torment until he returned the fire to heaven. Undoubtedly, Prometheus definitely did not do so. He love his…

Raisin in the sun, Lorraine Hansberry uses an allusion to compare Walter Lee to the mythical Prometheus (856). George called Walter Lee “Prometheus” because, “Prometheus" fits Walter's passionate temperament. Prometheus was a Greek God from ancient Greek Myths who did not fight the Olympians. Prometheus was one of the two men who were not locked under the earth and the two men were given jobs. Prometheus started to think of using his job as revenge against the Olympians, because although he was…

The story of Prometheus giving fire to man is one that could be interpreted to teach a few different life lessons; however, I believe the most accurate one is that the story of Prometheus is trying to teach that you should always do what you feel is right. Prometheus did what he felt was right to protect and aid the humans he had so painstakingly created. “When Prometheus finished his work and saw his creatures shivering in the cold, dark night, terrified of the many powerful beasts his brother…

god of “all gifts” was the first human women in greek mythology. She was formed out of clay and the earth by the gods, Hephaestus and Athena. When The Titan, Prometheus, was assigned the task of creating the race of man, he grew very angry and displeased with the men, so he stole fire from heaven. The greek god Zeus was very mad at Prometheus for stealing the fire and giving it to the humans, and commanded Hephaestus and the other gods to create the first woman, Pandora as his punishment. They…

beginning of the work, Victor believed he was smarter than anyone on Earth and that he alone had the power to create new life. He forms a god-like image of himself which continues to distance himself from the world around him, much like the Titan Prometheus. On top of arrogance, Victor did not take responsibilities for his own actions when it came to his own creation. This led to death and destruction that could have easily been avoided if the doctor had only given his creation a chance…
