    Prometheus was the kindest of all the Titans or even the gods, but one day, Zeus ordered that everyone was forbidden to interact with the humans. Prometheus could not stand to see humans- let alone anything- suffer and to watch them go extinct because Zeus threw a fit, so he gave the humans fire in order to live. When Zeus found out about it, he became enraged and killed him a hundred times, then chained the titan to a large tree, only to watch mankind. Then, as he was not satisfied, Epimetheus’ story comes into place: Zeus asked Athena to make him a daughter, and after she did so, he called her Pandora, and offered her as a wife to Prometheus’ brother. After he accepted, Zeus gave them a beautiful box as a wedding gift, which had a note that read “DO NOT OPEN” which was obeyed for many months.

The unfortunate event that takes place between Zeus and Leda results in Leda receiving the knowledge and power of Zeus. Leda potentially has the power to see in the future which could be looked at in both negative and positive ways, and she also gained more power than she had before.…

    A demigod by definition is neither a god nor a man rather they exist somewhere between the two strict realms. Unlike some heroes throughout ancient myths and histories, Hercules was born mortal yet became immortal. Born of a human but created from a god, Hercules is the epitome of obscurity. Throughout his life, the contrasts of god and human make him strong yet weak. As a man he can be controlled and enslaved by both humans and gods (Loraux 131). Yet, his god-like aptitude of extreme strength and immunity to suffering (in that he does not give in to it) Hercules thrives until he is granted immortality through resurrection (Lopez-Ruiz 273). Even within Greek art, there is some confusion about the nature of Hercules: god or man or somewhere…

    “Have you ever been so desperate to know a secret that you took no notice of a warning?,” states the first line in the story of Pandora, written by an unknown source, about a woman whose curiosity got the better of her. The tale is a perfect example of a myth, a type of folklore. There are several examples of this. First, the story mentions and contains godly characters, both male and female, such as “the goddess Athene,” and “the most powerful of all Gods, Zeus.” Second, like most myths, it provides a theory as to how certain things in the natural world came to existence, without much factual information to back it up. In this case, it explains how we have all the “terrible evils” like misery, death, and sadness, which the story believes is caused by Pandora opening a box she wasn’t supposed to.…
