Document Summary
As you read these, identify the differences in the two versions. Iapetos (a titan) and clymene (a titan"s daughter) have four sons (iapetids): Prometheus: complex, mind is a shimmer ( a bright fast moving thing) Epimetheus: after thought the dumb brother the first to accept fabricated woman from zeus. The first mention of a human being the woman must"ve been all male before: menoitious very minor. Shows the punshiment: atlas is holding the sky: epimetheus bounded around his feet and arms and is holding a boulder an eagle eats out his liver everyday and at night time the liver grows back. Prometheus is bounded by shit and big metal spike through chest: picture of torture. Prometheus is free only at zeus" will and zeus" decides because he wants to give glory to hercules (son of zeus) Example of a trickster god; a champion of the under dogs we learn why he helps human beings.
