do you agree or disagree with prometheus's choice to give mankind fire?why or why not

Sagot :

Answer:

Yes, I agree, since Prometheus knew that fire was fundamental to guarantee the development of humanity, despite the refusal of the gods.

Explanation:

The myth of Prometheus is significant. Man had come off poorly in the original allocation of gifts and skills by the Greek gods. Both in terms of survival instincts and in terms of natural defenses, the other living things were much better off. Out of love for humanity, Prometheus stole fire from the Olympian gods and gave it to the people. He taught people how to work metal with it and learned to appropriate their technical skills.

Prometheus was punished for it by Zeus, the Greek supreme god. The supreme god and Prometheus had been friends, but despite the prohibition of Zeus, the Titan still gave the fire to the people. Therefore, the former confidant received a gruesome punishment for the treason. The nemesis, the "avenging justice" fell to him: he was shackled to the Caucasus mountain range where the eagle Ethon came every day to eat his liver. Every night the liver grew back. The nemesis should have lasted forever, but the hero Heracles set him free during his eleventh labor.
