Fire from Heaven
Posted by admin on September 29th, 2009
Zeus warned,
“Man is weak. Divine gifts will only make him arrogant and miserable.”
But Prometheus defied him,
stole fire from heaven and
delivered it to man, along with
mathematics, crafts, architecture,
medicine, farming, art,
complete enlightenment from the primitive state in which
Zeus would have kept them.
He was hailed for his compassion, for
bringing man out of the dark, yet its
not certain if Zeus wasn’t in fact
the more merciful.
