Should Prometheus be punished for bringing fire to man?

English
1 answer:
harina [27]3 years ago
8 0

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.

A cousin of yours in SS2 discovered to be pregnant and her father threatened to send her out of the house. Write a letter to pac
Naily [24]

Answer:

Letter to an uncle about the discovery of her daughter's pregnancy and to pacify him from doing anything bad to the daughter.

Explanation:

Avenue Street

New York City

10 May 2017

My dear uncle,

I know you will understand immediately why I am writing to you. But it is my request that you do not stop reading until the end.

I know it's a huge shock to learn about my cousin's pregnancy, especially that she's still in school and far too young to be starting this phase of motherhood. But I also want to point out some things that I feel you need to know about.

I have heard that you threatened to send her out of the house, which, I think, is a bad act that will affect and destroy our family. I know it is humiliating and shocking, but she is still your daughter and nothing will ever change that. Whether you disown her, kick her out of the house or even completely cut her off from the family, she is still the daughter of your blood and the unborn child will also be one too.

Moreover, acting harshly to her will only be detrimental to both baby and mother. In times like this, she needs more support rather than admonishment, especially from her own family. She needs the support, both emotionally and physically from you, her parents, and guidance for the future.

You are in shock and angry. Just imagine how shattered she will befeeling inside, knowing her family is angry and she has no one to turn to. So, rather than be angry at her, if you accept her and give her support, she will find it comforting and safe from others and their judgmental attitudes, which is sure to come. And when that comes, she will find comfort in the very place she has known and learned about love and loyalty.  

Also, by accepting the baby and lovingly giving peace and security to them, you are helping raise another human being just as God wants us to do. And through your act, your daughter will learn how to be a good parent to her own daughter. This is a valuable lesson that she can learn firsthand from you directly. And that will become a building block for her own growth and maturity, in learning to become the perfect mother for her child.  

Uncle, please try to understand and feel for her. She only wants and requires love and support from the family. She is already in a state of shock and distress and she needs no other stress, especially from the ones she expects to feel safe with.

So, it is my request that you reconsider my cousin's situation and act for the good of us all. I hope to visit you soon and I also hope to get good news soon. Take good care of each other.  

Love,

Raina.
