In the greek mythology, the creation of man is attributed to one of the sons of the Titan Iapetus, Prometheus, who shaped the human race with clay.Strange matter indeed. See L'encyclopédie assyrienne Or rather, the fourthSee L'âge d'or human race, which is still ours...

PrometheusClick > or + is chiefly known as the benefactor of mankind, as he started on deceiving GodIn french, God is Dieu, coming from greek Theos, that means … Zeus! twice. In order to determine what would be gods' food and men's food, he sacrified an ox, that he divided in two unequal parts: on one side, he put flesh and entrails, hidden under the animal's unappetizing skin, on the other side, the bones, covered with a thick layer of good looking fat. Then he asked his cousin  ZeusSee Le règne de Zeus to take a portion.

This powerful god was tempted by the white fat, but when he saw that it covered only bones, he got in a terrible rage against Prometheus and the mortals. To punish them, he refused to offer them the fire which would allow them to cook the delicious flesh attributed to them. Then the men complained to their protector, Prometheus, who decided to still do something for them. He then ascended to heaven, where he stole seeds of fire that he hid in a stem of fennel.

This time, Zeus' vengeance was terrible: Prometheus would be chained to Caucasus' top, where each day an eagle would come to devour his liver, which would grow again each time. The other gods spoke for Prometheus, but Zeus was inflexible. The punishment would have been endless if Hercules had not shot the eagle and released Prometheus from his ties. So the case ended fairly: Prometheus was punished for helping men, it was fair that a man set him free. And the adage is true: gods need men.

To punish men, Zeus started on inventing a « beautiful evil (...), terrible curse installed among mortal men », according to Hesiod. The Zeus asked Hephaestus to create an unknown being, the first woman, to whom gods would give each one a quality,Except Hermes who gave her lie and who received for name Pandora, which means 'gift of all gods'. Zeus offered her to Epimetheus, who was not very smart: his name means 'the one who thinks afterwards'. Epimetheus did not suspect at all that it was a poisoned gift. And then ...To know the end of Pandora's story, click +

Remembering the Epimetheus lesson, let's not think too late, and ask the right question: if Pandora was the first woman, how did men reproduce before her? Hesiod evaded the question. He spared the subject only two lines in his description of the golden race « when men came out of the earth », not as infants coming out of cabbages, but adult, fully equipped for fighting, like Athena coming fully armedSee Close et achevée out of Zeus' head. Of course, we may admire the pictorial form of the mythical story, but we better look behind.

Behind the image, through the looking-glass an incredible reality merges. We visualize some techniques of genetic reproduction.See L'homme OGM Zeus' head represents the knowledge he had about human cloning, and if Athena came out fully armed, it means that she didn't go through infant's nor child's life, but that she was born adult. That way would be born the successive mankinds. By cloning. By laboratory's genetics. If there is a hidden meaning in the universal myth of FloodSee Le grand cataclysme and Noah, it could well be this one. 

After the great cataclysm, survivors of the worldwide civilization produced a new mankind to rebuild everything.

That fire Prometheus stole to gods to give men, what is its true nature? Is it used only to cook food? Or does it rather refer to an inner quality? Zeus was the master of lightning,See Les maîtres de la foudre isn't it the fire of enlightenmentSee Les loges d'éveil that Prometheus stole to him? Isn't the stem of fennel an imitation of the divine thunderboltSee Par le foudre et le feu which transforms man into a god? In another versionClick + of the myth, when Prometheus kneaded clay to create man, didn't Athena intervene, seized with pity, to give this poor creature a soul, an opening to eternity?

That Zeus' fire Prometheus stole for us is the inner fire, the holy fire that lights its reflection in us, the fire of enlightenment, the heavenly fire,See Sous le feu du ciel the roaring of thunder, the saviour lightning that Yi-King calls the Awakener, the Thunder. Without him, we would be animals, like the Neanderthalians.See La fin des orques This direct phone line with our inner godSee Le Vivant makes us luminous beings, cosmic and almighty. Sapiens sapiensSee Homo sapiens sapiens = we should know it at last. But do we know it? No. 

We have forgotten everything of our divine sonship; yet the seed exists. We are not Homo sapiens sapiens,Man who knows that he knows but Deus nesciens nesciensGod who ignores that he ignores … in fake latin!
