Write a composition according to Prometheus' fairy tales.

1. Write an argumentative essay according to the story of Prometheus. Romantic times are always full of magnificent imagination, and the years of disaster are inevitably gloomy. Prometheus's merits and demerits alternate between "benefactor" and "sinner", which makes people at a loss.

No wonder, in the view of Martin L.West, a well-educated classic annotator, although the research literature is overwhelming, it is actually lacking. In the myth handed down from ancient times, Prometheus stole skyfire and gave alms to ordinary people, which made Zeus furious and created a beautiful disaster Pandora, which brought endless disasters to the world. From then on, the "evil" in the world is endless.

And Prometheus paid a huge price to get the fire on the earth. So people who "know" Prometheus only rely on fire, and those who "offend" Prometheus only rely on fire.

Since Aeschylus, most scholars are willing to describe Prometheus as a "benefactor". Prometheus sympathizes with, protects and educates mortals, so he is not afraid to be the eternal victim of tyranny. He gave mortals the sacred celestial fire symbolizing "immortality", and let them learn many skills of using fire to deal with the tyrannical nature (in fact, the gods).

When Prometheus proudly claimed that he taught all human skills, Prometheus became the spokesman of ordinary people or the symbol of human beings themselves, and even their "soul". In the early mythology, although the mortal was not created by Prometheus, the god who was the most merciful to mankind was tantamount to "re-creating with kindness."

Later, although mortals were finally looted by floods, it was Prometheus and his descendants who re-created human beings. Prometheus' kindness to mortals gradually escalated. In protagoras Plato's Myth of Creation, Prometheus only distributed some wisdom and skills to the existing human beings. By the time Apollo dolores (in the middle of the second century BC), he had become the creator of mankind: "Prometheus made man from water and earth."

However, with the overwhelming Americanism, there are occasionally different voices. Eliad, a great religious scientist in the 20th century, is very representative in criticizing Prometheus' contribution. In his view, Prometheus used his bravado to deceive Zeus with bones, angered the supreme god, made him angry with mankind and deprived mortals of the right to use fire.

Prometheus also made people start eating meat in the golden age and gave up the habit of vegetarianism. Prometheus then made another big mistake, stealing the fire with a hollow fennel pole, which led to a series of more terrible consequences.

So Prometheus made a big mistake. He showed off his wisdom regardless of the consequences. Prometheus first created the division between man and god, and then indirectly led to Zeus' revenge, all of which was concocted by Prometheus.

As far as stealing skyfire and giving alms to mortals is concerned, Prometheus is just making amends: Zeus' hiding skyfire was originally caused by Prometheus. What is the merit? Prometheus can be called the "culprit" when human beings were expelled from the Garden of Eden and embarked on a disastrous path of reincarnation. But for thousands of years, the conclusions of these two schools have been very negotiable, and the merits and demerits of Prometheus may not be so great.

From the source, that is, from the earliest and most representative records, we can find the key to correctly understand Prometheus' merits and demerits. However, we can't place too much hope on this, not only because hesiod's record is only a family statement after all-although it is the mother of all Prometheus stories in later generations, but also because there are many unsolved mysteries in hesiod's narrative.

We can't simply look at everything about this great god, because it involves many other more important issues. Both hesiod's works tell the story of Prometheus. Although there are great differences between the two, there are also many overlaps. Together, it can be regarded as a complete story and a separate chapter.

It is said that Labor and Seasons is later than Divine Spectrum, which faithfully implements and exemplifies the tone of the latter's theism, but the narrative related to Prometheus is much simpler. Perhaps the author thinks that Prometheus' deeds have been introduced in detail in the previous genealogy, so he turned to Pandora and the "Five Dynasties Theory". Of course, this transformation itself contains profound significance, including Prometheus' criteria for evaluating merits and demerits, because these independent stories all have the same meaning and purpose.

Pandora stands for "desire". Even though Epimetheus was warned by his brother, he finally accepted this "beautiful evil" because "immortal gods and mortals were amazed when they saw this full-fledged trick, and ordinary people could not extricate themselves" (The Divine Spectrum, pp. 585, 588-589). The long-winded "Five Commandments Theory" directly shows that the constant depravity of mortals is self-inflicted, and the abandonment of gods is only the inevitable result of evil human nature.

In that case, it doesn't seem to matter whether Prometheus steals skyfire or not. The key to the story of Prometheus in Labor and Seasons lies not in Prometheus himself, but in Zeus.

In Labor and Seasons, Prometheus did nothing but steal fire (the book only mentioned that he warned his brother not to accept Pandora, the "scourge of mankind"), and a few paragraphs are really an understatement, which is not enough to support any conclusion. On the contrary, Zeus plays an important role in labor and seasons. It is generally believed that Prometheus caused Zeus' behavior, including hiding fire and ordering the manufacture of Pandora.

But we must carefully check the causal relationship between them. The fulcrum of the whole story appears bion the three "hides" between lines 42 and 52, and its outline is roughly as follows: "The gods hid their livelihood for the mortal, otherwise, ... but (alla) the angry Zeus hid it (heisin) because (hotti) the cunning Prometheus cheated himself.

So (Tunica), Zeus designed sorrow for mankind and hid the fire. However, Zeus, the Otis, the excellent son of Partos, stole it for the benefit of mankind, and did not let Zeus, who likes thunder and lightning, see it. "

This series.

2. Introduction to the Story of Prometheus 50 words Prometheus is the son of Partos, the 12 gods of Titan, and Gaia, the mother of the earth. Prometheus not only created and brought fire to mankind, but also taught mankind a lot of knowledge and skills.

In Greek mythology, human beings were created by Prometheus, the God of Titan. (Prometheus means foresight) He also served as a teacher of mankind. He taught mankind everything that was useful and could satisfy and make mankind happy. Similarly, people thanked him and rewarded him with love and loyalty.

But Zeus, the leader of the supreme god, asked human beings to worship him, so that human beings must give him the best things. Prometheus offended Zeus in defending mankind.

As his punishment, Zeus refused to give mankind the last thing they needed to complete their civilization: fire. However, Prometheus, the son of the astute Partos, immediately came up with a way to remedy this defect. He picked a fennel and walked to the solar car. When it flew across the sky, he put the branch into the flame until it burned.

He brought the fire to the ground and to mankind, and the first pillar of fire in the jungle immediately rose to the sky. Zeus was a furious man. When he saw the flame rising from human beings and shooting into the distance, it stung his soul.

So Zeus was furious and ordered Vulcan to give Prometheus the severest punishment.

But Khafis Toth admired Prometheus and quietly said to him, "As long as you admit your mistake to Zeus and return the fire, I will definitely ask Zeus to forgive you." Prometheus shook his head and said firmly, "What's wrong with benefiting mankind?" ! I can endure all kinds of pain, but I will never admit my mistake, let alone return the fire! "

Vulcan people dare not disobey Zeus' orders. With violence and strength, he and two servants took Prometheus to the Caucasus Mountain, and tied him to a steep cliff with a chain that would never earn money, so that he could never sleep and his tired knees could not bend. A diamond nail was nailed to his undulating chest. He endured hunger, wind and sun.

In addition, Zeus sent a hateful vulture to peck at Prometheus' liver every day (in ancient Greece, the liver was considered as the place where human emotions were located). During the day, the liver was eaten up, but it grew back at night, which made Prometheus miserable. However, Prometheus did not give in.

In this way, day after day, year after year. It was not until Hercules, the famous Hercules, shot a death eagle with an arrow and smashed the chain with a stone that he was rescued. He endured this unspeakable pain and torture.

So we often compare Prometheus to a man who would rather sacrifice himself than fulfill others.

3. Prometheus, the sequel to the fairy tale, is a hero in Greek mythology, whose name means "prophet".

He is a descendant of the ancient protoss exiled by Zeus and the son of Partos, born to Gaia, the mother of the earth, and Uranus, his father. Prometheus and Athena, the goddess of wisdom, created human beings and taught them a lot of knowledge.

At that time, Zeus forbade people to use fire. Seeing the hardships of human life, he helped people steal fire from Olympus, which angered Zeus. Zeus locked him on the cliff of Caucasus Mountain, sent an eagle to eat his liver every day, made his liver grow again every day, and made him suffer the pain of being pecked by an evil eagle every day.

However, Prometheus remained indomitable. Thousands of years later, Hercules came to the cliff to look for Hesperides, shot the evil eagle, replaced it with Ken Taulos's centaur Kay Long Xing, and rescued Prometheus.

But he must always wear an iron ring with stones on the Caucasus Mountain, so that Zeus can proudly claim that his enemy is still locked on the cliff of the Caucasus Mountain. In western literature, Prometheus has become synonymous with "the great martyr".

I met Prometheus. In Greek mythology, human beings were created by Prometheus. He also served as a teacher for human beings, teaching them all useful things that can make them satisfied and happy. Similarly, people thanked him and rewarded him with love and loyalty. But Zeus, the highest god, asked human beings to worship him, so human beings must give him the best things. Prometheus offended Zeus, the defender of mankind.

As his punishment, Zeus refused to give people the last thing they needed to complete their civilization-fire. But Prometheus thought of a way to steal the fire with a long fennel branch and bring it to mankind when the burning sun car passed by.

So Zeus was furious. He sent someone to take Prometheus to Caucasus Mountain, and tied him to a steep cliff with a chain that never stopped making money, so that he could never sleep and his tired knees could not bend. A diamond nail was nailed to his undulating chest. He endured hunger, wind and sun. In addition, Zeus sent an eagle to peck Prometheus' liver every day, but the eaten liver grew back. Nevertheless, he didn't give in. In this way, day after day, year after year. Until a hero named Herakles saved him, he endured this indescribable pain and suffering.

5. Write fairy tales, what do you become? These are the materials. Just tidy them up. Prometheus and the earth were created, and the sea waves beat against the coast.

Fish play in the water and birds sing in the air. There are many animals on the earth, but no advanced creature with a soul can dominate the world around it.

Prometheus was born at this moment. He is a descendant of the ancient monotheistic family exiled by Zeus, and the son of Partos, born to Gaia and Uranus. He is smart and wise, knowing that the seeds of gods are hidden in the soil, so he picks up the soil, moistens it with river water, and shapes it into a human shape according to the appearance of the gods, the master of the world.

In order to give life to the clay figurine, he took out two kinds of characters, good and evil, from the animal soul and sealed them in the human chest. Among the gods, he has a girlfriend, Athena, the goddess of wisdom; She was amazed at the creation of Titan in Son of God, so she blew on the clay figurine with half a soul to make it spiritual.

In this way, the first batch of people appeared in the world. They thrived and soon formed a huge group, which spread all over the country. But for a long time, they didn't know how to use their limbs, nor did they know how to use the soul given by God.

They turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear, just like the human figure in the dream, walking around aimlessly, but they don't know how to play their role. They don't know how to stone, burn bricks, cut down trees to make rafters, and then build houses with these materials.

Like ants, they live in a cave without sunshine, not knowing that winter is over, spring is coming, and summer solstice is coming; They do everything without a plan. So Prometheus came to help his creation.

He taught them to observe the rise and fall of the sun, moon and stars; Invented numbers and words for them, let them know how to calculate and exchange ideas with words; He also taught them to control animals to share their labor, and let them know how to put reins on horses that pull carts or serve as mounts. He invented ships and sails to sail on the sea.

He cares about all other activities in human life. Once upon a time, sick people didn't know how to treat diseases with drugs, nor did they know how to apply ointment or take medicine to relieve pain. Many patients died tragically because of lack of medical care and medicine.

Now, Prometheus teaches them to prepare drugs to prevent and treat various diseases. In addition, he taught them divination, explained dreams, and explained the signs of flight and sacrifice of various birds.

He guided them to explore underground mineral deposits and let them discover mineral deposits and mine iron and gold and silver. He taught them agricultural techniques to make their lives more comfortable.

Not long ago, Zeus exiled his father Cronus and overthrew the ancient family of gods, from which Prometheus was born. Now, Zeus and his sons are the new masters in the sky, and they begin to pay attention to the newly formed human beings.

They demand that human beings respect them as a condition for protecting human beings. One day, in Merkon, Greece, the gods got together to discuss and decide the rights and obligations of mankind.

Prometheus attended the meeting as a defender of mankind. At the meeting, he tried to make the gods stop demanding sacrifices because they promised to protect mankind.

The son of Titan is determined to deceive God with his wisdom. He killed a big cow on behalf of his creation, and asked God to choose only the parts they liked.

He cut the sacrificed bull into pieces and divided it into two piles. A pile of meat, viscera and fat, covered with cowhide, with a cow's belly on it; The other pile is full of cow bones, cleverly wrapped in beef suet.

This pile is bigger than the other. Zeus, the father of all-knowing and all-powerful God, saw through his trick and said, "Son of Partos, noble king, my good friend, how unfair it is for you to share the sacrifice!" At this time, Prometheus became more and more convinced that he had deceived Zeus, so he secretly smiled and said, "Dear Zeus, father of all gods, please choose a pile according to your own wishes!" Zeus was very angry, but deliberately stretched out his hands to get white sheep fat.

When he peeled off the suet and saw that it was full of stripped bones, he pretended that he had not been cheated so far and said angrily, "I see, son of Partos, you haven't forgotten your deception!" Zeus was cheated and decided to get back at Prometheus. He refused to provide mankind with the last thing necessary for life: fire.

But Iapetus's son was very alert and immediately came up with a clever idea. He took a thick and long fennel pole, carried it to the approaching solar car, put it in its flame and lit it, then returned to the ground with a flickering light. Soon the first pile of firewood burned, and the fire became bigger and bigger.

Zeus flew into a rage when he saw a flame rising in the world. Seeing that he could no longer take fire away from mankind, he quickly came up with a new disaster to punish mankind in order to offset the benefits that fire brought to mankind. He ordered hephaestus, the Vulcan, who is famous for his craftsmanship, to build a stone statue for a beautiful woman.

Athena gradually became jealous of Prometheus and lost her affection for him. She personally dressed the stone statue in shiny white, covered it with a veil, put a wreath on her head and tied it with a golden ribbon. This golden ribbon is also made in hephaestus.

In order to please his father, he elaborately produced delicate blond hair and animal images decorated with different expressions. Hermes, the messenger of the gods, taught this charming body language skill; Aphrodite, the goddess of love, endowed her with various attractive charms.

So Zeus injected a vicious disaster into this beautiful image. He named her Pandora, which means "a woman with all talents" because the gods gave her a gift that was harmful to mankind. He sent this young woman to the world, and the gods who wandered freely on the ground for fun marveled at this incomparable beauty.

She came to Prometheus' brother Epimetheus and asked him to accept a gift from Zeus. Epimetheus has a kind heart and no suspicion.

Prometheus once warned his brother on Mount Olympus not to accept any gifts from Zeus, but to return them immediately. However, Epimetheus forgot this warning and accepted this beautiful young woman happily.

It was not until later that he suffered that he realized that he had brought disaster. Before that, human beings listened to Prometheus' warning, so there was no disaster, no hardship, no disease that tortured people.
