And the first text is from The Gift of Fire, about Prometheus disobeying Zeus and giving humans the gift of fire, and then being punished by being chained to a rock and having his liver pecked out by an eagle every day. Idk. I ended up on wikipedia, I feel so dirty. |

Oh well, I imagine if you just spout some shit about religion at the time, fear of punishment in order to keep societies in line, the fact that they had no science, and them trying to explain where fire came from. Someone once said something (technology maybe?) that is so advanced to ones society is indistinguishable from magic. Like if we had gone back in time and shown caveman a microwave they would have worshipped us as Gods. It was just their way of explaining things at the time. |
