I don’t think Prometheus was arrogant. He was truly one brave titan with his vast intelligence he knew on some level Zeus was gonna completely lose his mind over being defied and would be punished severely for his actions yet he still did it because of his desire to see humanity go forward. He probably on some level also hated the olympians which is why he was tight lipped about the mother of the future usurper in that he saw it as humanity’s destiny if you will to challenge and eventually surpass the gods

And you are correct

[@MagicJesus]

Prometheus is a proto-Christ relating to Matthias, a disciple or student, a mathematicus. The craftsman god, Iapetus the piercer, got carried on as Hephaestus and perhaps influenced Jupiter. Josephus Ben Matthias claimed to be a historian but passed on allegorical tradition, creating a mythic place for Israelites in cosmopolitan religious tradition. This paved the way for henotheism to replace polytheisms all the way to the Mideast.

Its just a teaching story. Prometheus never existed. What it teaches you is that humans have the same power that the Gods in the story have. Prometheus gave it to them. The fire in the story is not really about a flame in your fireplace. It is the "Ability To Create". Never take any of the Mythologies at face value. Don't discount them and think they are meaningless. The opposite is true. They are all fake stories that contain a very real and very true secret worth preserving and worth teaching.

I'm guessing that, as him being god of the terrestrial earth, Poseidon would have been very bummed-out if there were no humans left to ride his horses and use his cattle to plow the fields in the future.

[@mver191]

Prometheus which caused humanity to be cursed was freed by Heracles, lifting the curse. According to the bible Jesus freed humanity from the curse of original sin. Both curses were caused by access to knowledge of the gods. Heracles had a father as god, Jesus had a father as god. Heracles had 12 labours, Jesus had 12 disciples. Heracles died after torture and was taken up in the heaven to be with his father. Jesus died after torture and was taken up into the heaven to be with his father. Pandora = Eve Bacchus was able to turn water into wine. Christianity was heavily influenced by Greek mystery cults.

[@mizukage_josh9125]

Wild Woody you forgot the Deucalion story which is mostly the same as the Great Flood

[@mver191]

@@mizukage_josh9125 Yeah. The fallen angels were the polytheist gods like Zeus and Poseidon. Who regularly bred with mortal women creating offspring with superhuman powers. Zeus and his family comes from Cronus, the angels from God. Which means the Christians/Jews see God as Cronus. And this Titan was likely inspired by a real king called Cronus from that area where the Canaanite (Jewish) religion began. So the Abrahamic religions are actually worshipping a human king. "Byblos had the reputation of being the oldest city in the world, founded by Cronus. During the 3rd millennium BC, the first signs of a town can be observed, with the remains of well-built houses of uniform size. This was the period when the Canaanite civilization began to develop." "When Hellenes encountered Phoenicians and, later, Hebrews, they identified the Semitic El, by interpretatio graeca, with Cronus. The association was recorded c. AD 100 by Philo of Byblos' Phoenician history, as reported in Eusebius' Præparatio Evangelica I.10.16" "Philo's account, ascribed by Eusebius to the semi-legendary pre-Trojan War Phoenician historian Sanchuniathon, indicates that Cronus was originally a Canaanite ruler who founded Byblos and was subsequently deified. This version gives his alternate name as Elus or Ilus, and states that in the 32nd year of his reign, he emasculated, slew and deified his father Epigeius or Autochthon "whom they afterwards called Uranus". It further states that after ships were invented, Cronus, visiting the 'inhabitable world', bequeathed Attica to his own daughter Athena, and Egypt to Taautus the son of Misor and inventor of writing"

Back then, Hope was seen as something that prolonged suffering of the humanrace, as well as keeping the fire of humankind going.

[@JoggingMyMind]

here's my personal interpretation of the first story: I think Prometheus found himself likened to the existence of humans, who, having been an afterthought after animals, from the god Epimetheus, is similar to how Prometheus's tactics were always an afterthought to pure strength. I think Prometheus found himself wanting to live through man, to see how man would triumph over such struggles, or to experience their power over the earth. He gave humans many gifts, in order for their situations to be likened to his own. I think Prometheus was able to endure his punishment because, even though chained, a piece of him was free in the eagle, free to soar like no other being of his kind. Even though his liver was being consumed, that physical piece of him will stay with the eagle, for as long as it lives. He was able to experience the freedom of an eagle, through his liver in its stomach. However, doing so would eventually lead to the eagle itself acting like the chains on his person, now consuming not only flesh, but his person as well. Only being unchained once the eagle was destroyed. I think that Zeus's punishment was to teach that even though Prometheus can live through humans, his true person will be chained down and consumed, as if chained to a mountain, with a hungry eagle nearby. Through this perspective, it teaches us that we can live through others all we want, but it will eventually lead to us being chained by our ambitions, and killing the relationship with the person we pushed our ambitions onto.

[@uniqueglow9541]

Some notes and remarks are in order. In Antiquity Prometheus was not at all viewed as a "rebel against injustice" or anything of that sort. He was not regarded as very wise or "righteous". The story of Prometheus has been misinterpreted and modified in the last two centuries, especially by romantic writers who made Prometheus look like a hero or benefactor. In short, for many centuries since Antiquity and beyond, Prometheus has been viewed by poets, authors and writers as a lowly, jealous trickster who did not help or benefit anybody by his actions. He stole fire by hubris and envy, hid it or misused it without helping anyone, and he was justly held accountable and punished. Then when the time was right he was justly released by Hercules/Herakles under the instructions or with the permission of Zeus. Zeus was in Antiquity called among other things the lord of justice, the protector of strangers, and the keeper of oaths. People plausibly thought in Antiquity that when Zeus punished Prometheus it was justice, and when Zeus released him it was also justice.

[@Rich904]

It is the hubris of the ego. How forethought never goes as planned. And solo relying of just thinking ahead doesn't work. Epimethius or hindsight is needed as well for it to equate to us gaining wisdom. So we can end up with our egos plucking at our forethinking and it torment us. Pandora is imagination equated with tiamat and chaos and opening imagination is letting the door out to all monsters of possibilities. The box being our subconscious which holds fears and insecurities among other things. So it makes sense they used promethus as being kinda arrogant in thinking amd not actually being open to things not going his way as he is extremely methodical and logical. Lacking hindsight he probaly cant cinceptualize empathy yet. He doesn't think back on his actions in this sense he just plans and enacts those plans. Jealousy arises when we think about future amd being not where we plan for it to be. It is the start of thinking but not the whole, it is just a part and like all parts has its flaws. This can be how it is seen as a trickster to us when we solely focus on just the future and how our plans can and usually will deceive us when we actually enact them. I think it all speaks towards this psychological aspect of it and understanding the mind.

Another version or explanation of the story of the theft of fire is that Zeus intended to take away (a more advanced way to make and use) fire from humans temporarily, for a few months during the hot season, and humans already knew rudimentary ways to make fire. But Prometheus didn't want to wait. He tried to hurt Zeus and make him look bad, he didn't really care about helping or benefiting anyone. He stole fire from Zeus by hubris and envy, he hid it or misused it, and he was consequently rightfully punished for it.

@Mr. Rain123 yeah, heck I even heard in some versions of the bible that Lilith, the first actual woman, left the garden of eden because she wouldn't be adam's bottom. You know, power dominance.

[@DJblake33365]

Hi could you please share the source of your Hesiod quotations? I’m having trouble finding the line number and translation for those excerpts. Thank you! Edit: it appears these are from Aeschylus’ Prometheus Bound, though I still cannot find the translation you are using. Please provide some more information on your sources thanks!

[@uniqueglow9541]

The story of Prometheus being involved in the creation of humans was only mentioned in late Antiquity by authors like Plato and Ovid, possibly as an embellishment of the myth. Something that has been forgotten in the last one or two centuries is that several authors in the past stated that Zeus or Jupiter was the same person as one of the earliest most important patriarchs and prophets mentioned in the bible, his story having been modified to comply with biblical monotheism.

Prometheus erred when he sided with Zeus and realized his folly afterwards. He then began to plot against Zeus and paid his dues. Let's just say that Atlas has the forethought and Prometheus the afterthought.

[@syrupybrandy2788]

If he sided with Cronos, mankind and all of creation wouldn't exist. The titans do not feel the need to create lesser beings and creatures.

[@jankarlelenzano6591]

@@syrupybrandy2788 Cronos wasn't the leader of the Titans, Atlas was. Those lesser gods weren't allowed in here, they forced their way here. They were the fallen angels who got kicked out of heaven. I think they are the source of most of our problems.

[@Sharkakaka]

Or maybe he noticed the Gods would win and fighting a battle already lost isn't worth it. Better to plot a plan that would actually work rather than mindlessly charging and hoping for the best.

[@jankarlelenzano6591]

@@Sharkakaka it's already established that Prometheus didn't value self-preservation when he went against Zeus. The gods' win was tactical, but their plan was a strategic failure.

Prometheus sounds a lot like Lucifer. Defies sky daddy, gives humans knowledge, punished with being bound in a terrible place of eternal suffering.

It's like Fire is the knowledge from the apple from Eden. Damn. But at the same time Prometheus reminds me of Christianity's God in the sense that he created man in the image of the angels and loved man. And then Pandora is like Eve and opening the box is like eating the apple. Which caused problems for everyone. Idk why I keep trying to match the coincidences. It's just hard to ignore I guess.

Epymethius means forethought and Primetheus afterthought, as far as I am aware.

[@lawswon4857]

It's the other way around. Epimetheus is "after thought" where Prometheus is "forethought" or "pre-thought".

[@torbjornlekberg7756]

@@lawswon4857 I suppose that is possible.

[@kittenoutinspace]

Epi means after, while Pro means before. So it's the other way around.

@@kittenoutinspace Today, yes, but languages change and we are talking about ancient myth here, so I would not consider this a a conclusive argument.

Imagine the ancient Greeks creating a NEW mythology with God like characters interacting and fighting to encode the art of making gun powder which requires three main ingredients. •a nitrate, typically potassium nitrate (KNO3), which supplies oxygen for the reaction; REPRESENTED BY the war god Hepanitrate •charcoal, which provides carbon and other fuel for the reaction, simplified as carbon (C); REPRESENTED BY the goddess CharcoBella •sulfur (S), which, while also serving as a fuel, lowers the temperature required to ignite the mixture, thereby increasing the rate of combustion. REPRESENTED BY their promiscuous and beautiful daughter Sulfurella Making gun powder requires approximate measures of the three ingredients 74.8% Saltpeter, 13.3% Charcoal, 11.9% Sulfer. The story goes on blah blah blah.. The Daughter ran away from home for 74 days, the God father sends 13 men to look for Sulfurella and bring her back, and when they finally find her she had already given birth to 11 children. Blah blah blah... This happens and that happens blah blah blah.. And you have the new Mythology of Gunpoderopollis. See how Allegories work? Sure there are people who take them at face value and may even worship the characters but the people who create them and the people they are intended for who use them for teaching and preserving knowledge know the characters never existed. The mythology of Prometheus is an important one and it is actually closely related to the mythology of Hermes and Argus. And it is all a cooked up story to actually teach other stories and information. Its all the art of hiding the biggest secrets in the universe in plain sight for those who have the eyes to see and ears to hear.
