Answer:

The story of Oedipus The king shows the gods as someone who curses their own people fro no reason but also at the same time expect them to worship and turn to them for guidance and help.

Explanation:

Ancient Greek stories have a lot of details showing their gods in all their finery and helping out men in their need but they also are full of negative attributes and easily destroy lives and places in anger. And they are known to put curses on even their own off-springs. While it is customary to pray to gods for help, these same gods are also the causes of most of the wars and they too participate with each having their own sides. In Oedipus, The king, we see that even these gods are at work. They had already predicted the fate of Oedipus before he was even born. A curse was on him that he will bring upon the destruction of his father. That curse came true, but unknowing to Oedipus. He killed the king of Thebes and married the queen, who turned out to be his own mother. In this play, the gods played a big role in how the characters turn out. It was because of the curse that was upon Oedipus that ruined the kingdom. In lines 467, Tiresias said "I served Apollo" and this is evident of him being the medium for the god's message to men and also his dependence on the gods even when threatened. And Tiresias talks of the doom that will befall on Oedipus. Lines 784-800 shows Jocasta the queen and wife/mother of Oedipus describing the same details of the curse and the death of Laius, Oedipus' father and her husband. These predictions by the gods are evident of them being gods, cursing them and also at the same time being worshiped for guidance and help.

In your opinion, is the “Modern” state of human creation (science, technology, intelligence, etc.) beneficial or detrimental to
Elza [17]

Evolution of science, technology and intelligence has both improved and worsen human life. When properly used, science and technology have always been very good tools for advances in industry, everyday comforts, health, and education, thus giving us a better quality of life.

All these improvements are linked to each other, creating a chain of benefits for civilization. If we think of life expectancy, for example, we can realize our ancestors used to live less time, this is because medicine has significantly evolved thanks to science and technology. Another example is communication, nowadays we can instantly get in touch with a person who is miles away thanks to the creation of cellphones and computers.

But, when improperly used, science, technology and intelligence can be destructive. This was the case with WWII, in which technology and science were employed to build weapons of mass destruction, as the atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

It is also true that our planet is deteriorating due to these activities, and if somebody has to take responsiblity for it, it is us, but only us together can help the planet get better. The following quote from the novel by Mary Shelley shares the same ideal:

"It is true, we shall be monsters, cut off from all the world; but on that account we shall be more attached to one another.”
