Support the channel: https://boosty.to/simpleaboutart Thank you! ❤️ Who was Prometheus and is the classic version of the myth so unambiguous? Video about mythology: • Myths of Ancient Greece Another video on the topic of Greek mythology because its plots are inexhaustible ☺️ This time I will tell you about Prometheus. I am sure that at least everyone has heard of him, most know that Prometheus brought fire to people and was cruelly punished for this - chained to a rock and an eagle pecked out his liver. This is the classic version of the myth of Prometheus ???? But is this Prometheus at all? Where did he come from? Why did Prometheus steal fire? And could he not do it? Why did Zeus punish Prometheus? Was it fair .... I tried to tell objectively without singling out either side in either a heroic or a villainous light. Additionally, this myth answers the most important question - how did people appear)))) In Greek mythology, there are 2 versions of this myth - here I will tell you both. As a bonus, you will learn a short history of the titan Atlas and why Atlas was punished and doomed to hold the Earth on his shoulders???? timestamps 0:00 Who is Prometheus? 1:08 Titanomachy 1:55 Creation of people and animals 2:54 Prometheus and Epimetheus distribute qualities between animals 3:49 Zeus gives people fire 5:00 Zeus decides to offend people.

I am convinced that in order to really UNDERSTAND art, you need to know history, mythology, culture. Know legends, myths and also the Bible of course)) Because Art always reflects society, that's one. And two - it doesn't have to be liked or disliked!!! (What a revelation, huh?????) You just need to understand it to know how society has changed over the centuries and understand why it is what it is now))) It's like with IT or finance - you may not like it and you may NOT be an expert. But you MUST have basic knowledge, just to fully live in the modern world. Same here!????
