Prometheus

Prometheus
The Rebel

Prometheus was a not a fool, but why else would he rebel against Zeus? He tried to trick Zeus (who knows all and sees all) with a false sacrifice. How foolish can you get? Prometheus also stole fire from Zeus and gave it to the primitive mortals on the earth. Zeus did not punish Prometheus alone, he punished the entire world for the effrontery of this rebel god.

Each day, Prometheus would be tormented by Zeus’ eagle as it tore at his immortal flesh and tried to devour his liver. Each night, as the frost bit it’s way into his sleep, the torn flesh would mend so the eagle could begin anew at the first touch of Dawn.

It would honestly suck to get punished by Zeus.

thats fucked......god like that is not really a god, coz gods are supposed to be forgiving

but looking at the god in the old testiment he compares to zeus in this story.
luckily god became forgiving in the new testiment.

For me this story is an interesting one - in that it shows the ancient Greeks understood and knew about the liver's resilience and ability to repair and regenerate itself - so much so that they included the idea in one of their myths.

Let's hear a big "thank you" for the aminotransferases!

This is a rather random thread

The best versions of the Prometheus myth are done by Harlan Ellison.

And for those of you who are extra observant. If you watch the new Solaris, when Kelvin is watching the video tape recording asking him to come to Solaris it says in the bottom right corner "Prometheus"
