Should Prometheus be punished for bringing fire to man?

English

harina [27]2 years ago

Answer: In Greek mythology, the Titan Prometheus had a reputation as being something of a clever trickster and he famously gave the human race the gift of fire and the skill of metalwork, an action for which he was punished by Zeus, who ensured everyday that an eagle ate the liver of the Titan as he was helplessly chained to a rock.

Prometheus (meaning "Forethought") was one of the ringleaders of the battle between the Titans and the Olympian gods led by Zeus to gain control of the heavens, a struggle which was said to have lasted ten years. Prometheus did, however, switch sides and support the victorious Olympians when the Titans would not follow his advice to use trickery in the battle.

According to Hesiod's Theogony, Prometheus' father was Iapetus, his mother was Clymene (or Themis in other versions) and his brothers were fellow Titans Epimetheus (Afterthought or Hindsight), Menoetius, and Atlas. One of Prometheus' sons was Deucalion, an equivalent of Noah, who survived a great flood by sailing in a great chest for nine days and nights and who, with his wife Pyrrha, became the founder of the human race.

In some traditions, Prometheus made the first man from clay, whilst in others, the gods made all creatures on Earth, and Epimetheus and Prometheus were given the task of endowing them with gifts so that they might survive and prosper. Epimetheus liberally spread around such gifts as fur and wings but by the time he got around to man, he had run out of gifts.

bixtya [17]

ANSWER: first-come/first-served

EXPLANATION: This form of allocating tickets by forming a line is an example of first come/first served. As the name suggests, the first person to come and be in the line will get the opportunity to hold or buy the ticket. If all the tickets are sold then the people still standing in the line will not be given an opportunity to see the movie. Lottery is a form of distribution where luck is considered to win the seat at the movie theater. Sharing equally will also not be the option as the seats are not equally distributed according to the number of people standing in the line.

Chapter 22 summary in the giver
IrinaK [193]

Answer: I GOT YOU

As Jonas bikes further and further away form the community, the landscape starts changing. The roads are more makeshift, filled with ruts and stones.

At one point, Jonas hits a stone and the bicycle turns over. Gabriel is fine, but Jonas has twisted an ankle.

Yet Jonas is undaunted, and the little duo continues to travel.

Since the search-planes aren't coming by anymore, Jonas starts to travel in daylight.

The landscape becomes more and more rural. Jonas even sees a bird pass by overhead—the first he's ever seen in real life.

As they move into forest-like territory, they see more and more animals. Jonas is happy about this, a fact only slightly dampened by their impending starvation.

Right, about that… Jonas is running out of food. Amazingly, he goes Survivorman, makes a net out of Gabriel's blanket, and catches two fish from a stream, which they eat raw.

He tries to conjure up memories of food, but they're dim and fleeting.

Jonas takes a moment to ponder the fact that, had he stayed in the community, he would definitely not be starving right now. He made a choice, he realizes, and it was the wrong one.

On the other hand, if he had stayed… well, Gabriel would have died. Jonas also would have starved in other ways, starved for color and emotion.

Then Jonas encounters hills for the first time. On the one hand, he's all excited to see hills. On the other hand, he's on a bike and he has a sprained ankle, so this isn't exactly the best time.

Then it starts raining. Again, this is fun as far as novelty goes, but that's about it. Now they're starving and wet and freezing.

Gabriel, understandably, starts crying.

Jonas does, too, but not for himself. He's not worried about saving himself anymore; he's just concerned about saving Gabriel.
