What does Prometheus stand for in Greek mythology?

The prophet Prometheus came to the land of the sea under the blue sky. At that time, the ground was covered with flowers and weeds, and all kinds of animals were scattered all over the floor. Birds build nests in trees and sing in the air. It's just that there are no humans who rule the earth yet. Prometheus wants to awaken the seeds of human life buried in the soil, so that they can make the earth more full of vitality. So, with a smile on his face, he walked thoughtfully to a river, grabbed a mass of mud from the river bank, poured some water on it with his hand, turned it into mud with suitable hardness, and then made a man out of mud in the image of God. The little clay figurine was very popular with him, so he was very happy to make many similar clay figurines. After rubbing, he looked at these lifeless bodies and fell into a long meditation. How can we bring them back to life? Prometheus is a god who is good at creation and invention. He absorbed good or evil characteristics from all kinds of animals, such as lion's bravery, dog's loyalty and intelligence, horse's diligence, eagle's foresight, bear's strength, pigeon's meekness, fox's cunning, rabbit's timidity and wolf's greed, and then integrated these characteristics and injected his own part into everyone's chest. In this way, they can move like animals However, they are only half-life, because they still lack the aura of the God who created them. Among the gods, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, is a friend of Prometheus. She was surprised to see what Prometheus had done on Mount Olympus. When she found Prometheus looking at his creation at a loss, she hurried down from Olympus and blew the energetic breath of God into their mouths. Therefore, they gain wisdom and reason, which makes them become real people. This is how people are created. They got up from the ground and ran around like children, looking at trees, weeds, flowers and animals in surprise. Like children, I don't know how to think. They see these objects, but they don't know how to identify them. They hear the sound of running water and blowing wind, the howling of wild animals and the singing of birds, but they can't understand all this. They don't know how to use their hands and strength. They live in dark caves because they don't know how to make tools or how to build houses with fallen trees and stones. They don't know how to explain the movement of the stars, nor how to divide the four seasons according to the laws of nature and make use of them. They don't know how to farm and harvest. Like children, they need help with everything. Prometheus was very willing to help them. He acted as their teacher. They learned to count and write from him. Under his guidance, they observed the movements of the sun, the moon and the stars, built houses and cultivated fields with cows and horses. Through hard-working hands, they built sailing boats sailing on the sea. He showed them the underground treasure, and they found gold, silver, copper and iron. According to his guidance, they tried to make all kinds of drugs, using oil and wine to treat diseases and wounds. Finally, Prometheus also taught human beings to predict the future and interpret dreams, and divined according to the flight of birds and the internal organs of animals. In short, he taught them everything that is useful to human beings and can make them satisfied and happy. People also thanked him and rewarded him with love and loyalty. Zeus and other gods who live on Mount Olympus are the masters of the universe. They soon noticed the human beings created by Prometheus. They demand that human beings worship them and obey them. In exchange, they can protect human beings and their property and wish them a bumper harvest in their work. In a gathering of gods and men, they discussed the obligations and rights of both sides. Prometheus, as a defender of mankind, also attended the party. He wants to protect mankind and prevent the gods from asking too much for their help and increasing the burden on mankind. Finally, the two sides reached an agreement on their respective obligations. However, human beings should give the best things to the gods. This time, Prometheus slaughtered a strong bull on behalf of mankind to worship the gods. In order to test the god's omniscient ability, he came up with a plan to chop the cow into pieces and divide it into two piles: pile the meat, viscera and fat into a pile and cover it with cowhide; Pile the bones into another pile and skillfully wrap them in sheep fat. This pile looks bigger. Then, he asked Zeus to choose the one he liked from the two piles. Zeus, who knows everything, saw through his scam at a glance, but pretended not to know. He has long been dissatisfied with Prometheus' behavior and always wants to find fault with him to punish him. So he stretched out his hands to get the pile. When he opened the white sheep fat and saw the stripped bones, it seemed that he had been cheated, and he flew into a rage: "Well, you evil god, you have made such a deception!" " You will be punished for this! "Say that finish, Zeus and his entourage, driving the thunder and lightning, angrily returned to Olympus. As the first punishment for Prometheus' mischief, Zeus refused to give mankind the last thing they needed to complete their civilization-fire. But the witty Prometheus immediately thought of a remedy. He broke off a long fennel branch and lifted it into the sky. When the sun god drove a burning solar car through the air, Prometheus put fennel branches into the flame and guided them, and then quickly landed on the earth with this burning flame. There, he lit the first pile of firewood with kindling, and the fire went up into the sky. Zeus saw flames rising from the ground in the sky. The fire lit up the earth and people danced around it. He knew that Skyfire had been stolen, and his heart ached. In order to offset the benefits of fire to mankind, he came up with a more vicious way to harm all mankind. He ordered his son, the clever Vulcan Khafis Toth, to create a beautiful girl. The beauty of this girl is incomparable, which makes all the gods marvel. Athena has lost her love for Prometheus because she is jealous of him. She personally dressed the girl in a beautiful white dress, hung a veil to cover her face, put on a corolla made of flowers and tied a golden hair band; Hermes, an angel of God, gave this charming girl the language ability to confuse people. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, endowed her with infinite charm. This beautiful girl is called Pandora, which means "the woman who is given everything". Zeus handed Pandora a box in which every god gave her a gift that was harmful to mankind. Then Zeus asked Hermes to take her to a place where man and god were in harmony. They were very surprised to see this beautiful girl, because human beings have never seen such a woman. Pandora took the box to the foolish Epimetheus, the younger brother of Prometheus, and gave him a gift from Zeus. Prometheus once warned his brother not to accept gifts from the ruler of the holy mountain of Olympus, in case he waited for revenge. But as soon as Epimetheus saw Pandora, he was fascinated by her beautiful appearance and beautiful language and forgot his brother's warning. Without warning, he stretched out his hands and prepared to pick up the box. At this moment, Pandora suddenly opened the lid of the box, and a large group of disasters hidden inside flew out at once. They are silent and invisible, and cover the whole earth in a blink of an eye. Since then, various diseases and disasters such as fever, plague and sudden death have wandered around the earth day and night. They came quietly because Zeus didn't give them a sound. Prometheus, the rescuer and doctor of mankind, saw that his creation was attacked by disaster and tortured by disease, and suddenly died for no reason. He was so sad that he almost fainted. However, Zeus, the ruler of Olympus, refused to stop there. He also wants to get back at the creator of mankind and kill him. He gave Prometheus to hephaestus and his two servants, Kratos (strong) and Biya (violent). They took him to Caucasus Mountain and tied him firmly to the cliff of Caucasus Mountain with a chain that would never stop making money. In fact, hephaestus didn't want to carry out his father's orders because he liked and respected Prometheus very much. While performing his cruel executioner's task, he murmured sympathy and asked Prometheus to forgive him. However, his two servants who jumped out of hell laughed at him for being soft-hearted because they hated Prometheus, the son of light. Unfortunately, Prometheus was tied to a steep cliff and hung straight there, never sleeping again. His tired knees could not bend because his hands, arms, shoulders and legs were firmly bound by chains, and a diamond nail was nailed to his undulating chest. He endured hunger, thirst, heat and cold. Except for the wind and rain, Zeus sent his eagle to peck the liver of the bound person every day. But the eaten liver will grow back soon. In this way, day after day, year after year, Prometheus endured indescribable pain and suffering for the sake of human happiness for a long time. Thirty years later, a hero named Hercules came here to look for golden apples. Seeing the descendants of God tied to the cliff, a giant eagle was pecking at his liver, and the archer who shot the evil eagle with his bow and arrow immediately put down the bag. Then he opened the chain and rescued Prometheus. Zeus flew into a rage when he learned that. To appease Zeus' anger, Hercules brought Long Xing Centauri as Prometheus' body double. Kay Long Xing was accidentally injured by Hercules' poisoned arrow, and the wound never healed. The pain was unbearable, but he was willing to sacrifice himself and give his eternal rights to Prometheus. However, Zeus still wanted Prometheus to wear an iron ring on his wrist forever with a Caucasian stone attached to it. In this way, Zeus can boast that his enemy is still tied to the mountain.
