Question

In the classic myth of Prometheus what does he learn and what themes make that myth a classic myth?

Answer 1

He learns that he shouldn’t steal from the gods.

What themes make that myth a classic myth. I’m not really sure about that but in my class we used the key elements of mythology.

-Tension between opposing forces in the universe (Prometheus vs Zeus)

- A struggle for power(x)

-Explanations of the origins of life and the natural world (Prometheus and Man)

-Fate and prophecy (x)

-Supernatural ir Nonhuman characters

-A quest or completion of a task.(x)

So the Prometheus myth includes Tension, Explanations, And supernatural.

- Hope this helped :)

Answer 2

He learns to never try to trick the Gods again.
