The Myth of Prometheus follows a conflict between Zeus, who is selfish, and does not want to gift fire to the people because it would give them a better chance of becoming as powerful as Gods, and Prometheus, who sees the value of all of the learning and growth fire could inspire for the people. He understood that assisting others could be beneficial, and as a god it did not always need to be about remaining so superior to mortals. In the end Prometheus gives the people fire, and sees the great benefit it has for them. “It was not long until they learned to cook their food and so to eat like men instead of like beasts. They began at once to leave off their wild and savage habits; … and were glad because life had been given to them.”

Throughout time, the countless cultures and religions that make up our world have always formulated stories revolving around the creation of the earth as we know it. Stemming from the art of storytelling, tales of first creations often share captivating details of the deities, processes, and results of world and species creation.

Although the share of black children in segregated schools had dropped to 62.9 percent by the early 1980s, the subsequent lack of commitment by the federal government and multiple Supreme Court decisions antagonistic to school desegregation have led to a reversal," notes EPI. Why does that matter? "Promoting school integration is important because — now as a half century ago — segregated schools are unequal schools," the report adds.

Out of the many myths written by the ancient Greeks, they rarely failed to include things like life lessons. “Pyramus and Thisbe”, “Pygmalion and Galatea”, and “Cupid and Psyche” are all such myths that, to this day, tell us how our current choices can impact us in the future. During the reading of the mentioned stories, we read about a life lesson involving the idea that love triumphs in most difficult situations presented in relationships. Difficulties written in the myths include being denied the right to execute a love, having trust destroyed between the lovers, and, being rather strange in this point in time, the artist falling in love with his statue of what had been despised most by he, himself. Each of these three myths tell us to not
