    Mythology gives me access to my unconscious‚ and descending into the unconscious has not been overwhelming to trigger my defense mechanisms. I have connected to the theme of death and rebirth‚ particularly in the myths of “Sky Woman’s Descent” and “Prometheus‚” and I identify with the themes and narratives as they are reflected in my own life.

    When comparing the ancient Greek creation myth of Prometheus and the Judaeo-Christian Adam and Eve story we find some striking similarities in both of them. Analyzing Hesiod’s Theogony and other sources we come to the conclusion that the old Greek religion did not include a direct link as to the creation of the humans. They just co-existed with the Gods.

    important than the collective “we”. In the woods‚ the two lovers find an abandoned house and they rename themselves Prometheus and Gaea. Ayn Rand chose these names because of how similar Equality and Liberty are to the mythological creatures. Equality 7-2521 strongly resembles the Greek mythological creature‚ Prometheus‚ in many ways. They both are very different from their people. Prometheus was a titan who was nothing like the other titans. He fought to defeat his brothers so that the gods could rule
