prometheus, the mythology

[fishnfla]

he stole fire from olympus and gave it to mankind

zeus chained him to a rock and sent an eagle to eat his liver which grew back every day

wierd name for a company

1. my favorite god...and not only did he give fire to man but his compassion

for man made him fool zues into accepting just the bones of sacrificed animals so that man could eat the meat...pissed Zues off big time

2. Wouldn't that make him the patron of the Republicans though?

We get the bones while they get the meat?

Bad Phe, bad, bad Phe.

4. A son of a God who joins the new Gods to toss Dad for keeping all the

privileges and refused to devolve any power.

Sounds like Bush.

Now Atlas, Prometheus, Epimethius, Helios, Astraios, Perses and Pallas were all sons of the original Gods - called The Titans - where Prometheus was god of forethought.

Now Dad's brother Kronos ruled.

And here we get 2 versions - Prometheus "created" man - but was it under Kronos and during the Eden paradise of man, or was it later, with no Eden having occurred, after Prometheus had joined Zeus and the new generation of Gods to toss Dad and the brothers?

No matter - we have the forethought and nice creator of people who discovered scholarly philosophy. But that "created" part has options also - did Prometheus gather up some clay, or did he take men who acted like idiots and teach them to understand wisdom?

So many questions.

sigh... I guess I need to check my copy of the Da Vinci book!
