Legend has it that in ancient times, the universe was like a big egg, regardless of heaven and earth. It's a mess, it's dark, and you can't tell up and down, left and right, southeast and northwest. But there is a great hero in the egg, and this is Pangu, who started the world. Pangu was conceived in an egg for 18 thousand years and finally woke up from a deep sleep. When he opened his eyes, he only felt dark and sultry, and he could hardly breathe. He wanted to stand up, but the eggshell wrapped his body so tightly that he couldn't even stretch out his hands and feet. Pangu was furious and grabbed a natural axe. With a wave of his hand, he heard a loud noise, which was deafening. The big egg suddenly broke, and the light and clear things in it kept rising upward and became the sky, while other heavy and turbid things gradually sank and became the earth.
Prometheus
Legend has it that there is no fire on the earth, and human life was very difficult at that time. There is no fire to barbecue food, so we have to eat raw food. Without fire for lighting, we have to spend one long night after another in boundless darkness. ...
Zeus, the king of the gods, agreed to offer fire to mankind, but he demanded that mankind must sacrifice with a cow. Prometheus came up with a clever plan. When offering sacrifices to Zeus, the cow Prometheus gave Zeus was divided into two parts: the first part was raw beef, but there was no cowhide; The second part is skin and bones, but it is poured with delicious butter. Zeus saw through the implication of Prometheus at a glance and said angrily, "I refuse to take the most important thing of mankind, that is fire!" " "
In order to benefit mankind, Prometheus risked his life to steal a fire from Apollo, the sun god. Zeus, the Lord God, stood on the holy mountain of Olympus and found fireworks curling up. He immediately traced back to who stole skyfire. When he learned that Prometheus had violated heaven, he flew into a rage and decided to punish him severely. But Haphaestus admired Prometheus and whispered 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 did not dare to disobey Zeus' orders, so he had to take Prometheus to Caucasus Mountain and tie him to a steep cliff with a chain that never stopped making money, so that he could never sleep, his tired knees could not bend, and a diamond nail was nailed to his undulating chest. He endured hunger, wind and sun.
Zeus sent the gods to lock Prometheus on the precipice of Caucasus Mountain with heavy chains, which made him suffer from the scorching sun and heavy rain. That's it. Zeus still felt avenged and sent a bloodthirsty eagle to peck Prometheus' liver every day. However, every time a bloodthirsty eagle pecks at it, Prometheus' liver will miraculously recover.
Prometheus endured great pain, but he did not regret it, did not give in, and was willing to suffer for mankind.
