a recurring theme, but in this life being heavy is one of the few theological virtues are still respected. I have shown more than once in this blog my utter contempt for the gods, whether they call Allah, Jupiter or Cristiano Ronaldo. But I have always admired the heroes, human (often sons of gods) who dare to challenge their power for a while, to say here I am until it is inevitable, the gods will end up putting a fripoié in the pylorus, and sometimes for all mankind.
is The hero of today would tell you is Prometheus (in this case would, to be precise, a titan). I summarize a bit what he did. (According to one version of Greek mythology, which has several for the same event.) Chicken Zeus deceives the sacrifice he had to offer to the gods Prometheus put two parts of the animal, a meat and other bones but coated with a layer of fat. The bearded choose bones instead of meat. Total, God is pissed and says how nice, that humanity is left with the meat, but he takes the fire to his house. And is that you can trick the gods, however ... then comes the guy with the mallet Bruno.
Humanity is vented in the worst sense of the word. And Prometheus check two eggs and, knowing that the gods are more irritable than Esteban, steals the fire and sends it back to humans (which is why it is considered the protector of civilization-note figure of fire as thinking). Zeus punished him by chaining him to find the top of a mountain (in the Caucasus), where an eagle gnaw the entrails forever.
How does he escape? Here comes the eternal misery of men ... sneak by and warning Zeus have a daughter that would ruin it ... So everything was settled.
