To our respected leader and my father Zeus, I, Artemis, am writing to address you about the torture of Prometheus. I am aware that as a Goddess, it is not my place to interrupt in such a war; however, I believe that Prometheus is facing unjust consequences. As your concerned daughter and citizen of Mount Olympus, I would like to express my worries and beliefs on this situation. I hope that by the end of this letter, we can come to a resolution that better fits the needs of Gods, Goddesses, mankind, as well as Prometheus. I am aware that Prometheus stole our darkest and perhaps our biggest secret, just to give it to mankind. It’s possible he felt sorry or pity for those men. But, I will side with you when I say, stealthily running off with Hephaestus’ fire was not the answer. Neither was it his place to give a God’s creation away nor did he discuss it with any of the Gods or Goddesses. He blatantly disobeyed you and Hephaestus, which was the wrong move to make. Although, none of us considered why he would feel sympathy for all those men. I gather he had felt this way because he had created them, he had regret seeing them in pain. But, that’s also where all of us, as the highest level of …show more content…
As the leader of us, it was a great move to show authority by giving a punishment. This not only showed who was in charge but also told to never cross you, for it is wrong. Nevertheless, for a crime to have good intentions, I believe if you had just given him a small, but powerful judgment, Prometheus would’ve understood that he shouldn’t continue to abruptly make decisions. In conclusion, I hope you have realized the decisions we all made weren’t the wisest and we could’ve done a lot more for mankind. Even though, I know I, as a Goddess, should not be interfering with this kind of situation I believe it would better our living situation if you would take any one of these ideas into

Doug. Respectfully, your either a ineffective board member or your intentionally misleading folks. My finger is pointing directly at the truth. Certain folks within the Chambers Executive team are effectively actin as a financial conduit, funding our career elected officials to promote an particular outside interest in Folsom. My proof is solid.
Throughout the novella Anthem the society disregards citizens having thoughts of their own. Prometheus, who has always been a free thinker, has always felt out of place in this society. As the novel progresses Prometheus comes to appreciate his trait of independent thinking. At the ending of the novella Prometheus comes to understand that what society sees as unethical is actually a valuable trait to have. Prometheus writes that he finally recognizes ‘why the best in me has been my sins and my transgressions; and why I had never felt guilt in my sins” in the concluding chapter of Anthem (Rand, 98).
What is the meaning of Ego? In today’s world, it means “a person’s sense of self-esteem or self-importance”, it is to be self-centered and care for nothing else except for one's self or, in other terms, being an individualist. Today, people have been told to care for others instead of themselves, but that is not completely true. For example, Prometheus in Anthem by Ayn Rand- is not what one would consider to be a total egotistical person. Searching through different types of definitions and reasons about the definition of ego, the assumption is that egoism is not immoral or virtuous but the balance in between.
He had to have known that if something were to happen, he and his men would be able to escape easily without getting stuck, So being forced to leave his other men behind, he had left and escaped for him and his men's only will. Because if he was gonna lose anybody he would want it to be a small number of people then all of his remaining men. Doubt he had a choice; he knew that if he even stayed he and his men would not come out
Achilles is maddened and appeals to his goddess mother saying, “If I am to die soon, shouldn’t I have what I want?” Feeling only sorrow for her son, Thetis requests Zeus to cause to Greeks to lose until Achilles fights again. Slowly the Greeks are pushed back farther and Agamemnon pleads with Achilles, offering Briseis back. Achilles declines due to his pride and the Trojans come close to burn the Greek ships. Even when a ship was burning, Achilles refused to fight and instead sends out Patroclus.
Through thorough analysis of Zeus’ interaction with Prometheus in both Hesiod’s Theogony and Aeschylus’ Prometheus Bound, this essay will be able to clarify which one of the authors had the most accurate
He knew that it would not be easy for Adam and Eve to live in the world where Satan reigns, assuming that they have not just become vulnerable to evil but their minds and hearts have likewise been infiltrated with evil that it can powerfully manipulate them to sin against God; however, they must give their best efforts to resist and overcome the enticing work of the evil in their lives by resolutely deciding to walk in the righteous precepts and statutes of God in order that they may keep their intimacy with Him.(Hebrew 12:4) Therefore, God, filled with love and compassion never forsook nor despised His people believing that they need Him more than ever to help and empower them in their weaknesses to war against Satan, to stop him from possessing them through his quaint deceit that appeals most to the desires of the flesh, to enable them to live a life that is pleasing and acceptable to Him. Significantly, God purposely instituted the practice of praise and worship to gather His people into His presence and to keep them for Himself. He likewise established the execution of blood sacrifices to cleanse them of their sins to render Satan powerless over their lives through forgiveness of sins. Therefore, Satan may deceive humans to sin against God countless times; however, for as long as God’s people comes to present Him some burned offerings, He will always honor them and unconditional forgive them of their sins and restore them to His family and
. John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton once stated, “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” However, the usage of power can be implemented positively or negatively, depending on the intentions of an individual. By definition, power is stated as the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behavior of others or the course of events. Characters from The Epic of Gilgamesh by Sin-Leqi-Unninni and Lysistrata by Aristophanes demonstrate that not all who wield power results in corruption.
So, therefore, why should he care about this emotion if it serves no evolutionary purpose to help us thrive and grow in the universe? Like Meursault, the Universe is unforgiving and ignores feeling to continue the circle of
The darkness that filled his eyes and the psychical pain he had inflicted
He did, however, force them to the live on earth and denied them immortality. Prometheus felt sorry for humans, so when given the task of presenting offerings to the gods, he decided to manipulate the situation. He decided to trick Zeus into taking the lesser offering, saving the best for the humans. By doing this, Prometheus ensured that humans got the better end of the deal. Angered by this trick, Zeus punished humans by
He found the men who killed them, but to make sure it was them he asked where the girls were. One of them replied with, “The girls? We sacrificed them to the Water spirit, sir… They cried and carried on like crazy” (36). In this scene those men did not seem to think it was a big deal to sacrifice three innocent girls.
Many people worry about what is occurring now, because it is the worst for them. Little do they know, however, that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Prometheus was a titan god whom helped the Olympians during the Titan War. He helped create man during the time. Prometheus ended up loving humanity that when Zeus took away fire, he actually got it back for them.
Well, there you have it folks, Prometheus ' stories. Because of his heroic actions we now have torch races in his honor. I can say myself how much of a wise, respectable, and selfless man he truly is. Thank you, have a nice night
