Commenting About 3 Myths

Myths Read: 1. Pyramus and Thisbe 2. Cepahlus and Procris 3. Prometheus and Pandora

Pyramus and Thisbe: This story has a lot to do with the silly mistakes humanity makes. It treats about two young teenagers who are very wealthy and they love each other. Unfortunately their parent’s don’t want them to be together. So one day they decide to escape so they can live happily together. They set a meeting place and Thisbe got there first. There was a thirsty lion nearby and ripped off her veil and destroyed it with her bloody teeth. But fortunately or rather unfortunately nothing happened to her. When Pyramus arrived he saw the veil covered in blood and thought about her beloved Thisbe, he thought he was dead! So he killed himself with a sword too. When Thisbe arrived he saw Pyramus died and therefore ended with her life too. This I can relate it a lot with miscommunication and that human are very accelerated and want everything now and can’t wait. Also just by looking at something we draw out errand conclusions and act without thinking. We act very precipitated and don’t stop and analyze things.

Cephalus and Procris: Once again this myth has a lot to do with miscommunication and drawing out poor conclusions. Cephalus and Procris were a happy couple who loved each other deeply. One day Cepahlus went hunting and said “Come, sweet breeze, come and fan my breasts, come and allay the heat that burns me”. Somebody heard him and went and told Procris, the story ends up badly once more. People should first be sure of what they are talking about before actually telling to other people. It could end up hurting innocent people and making a big and unnecessary problem.

Prometheus and Pandora: This is a typicall creation myth which talks about Prometheus, which was a Titan who created the earth. When he finished creating the earth there were only man, but after a woman called Pandora came , and she opened a box in which feelings of men were introduced. Pretty much it talks about the Golden Age and the other stages which the world went through so we could get to this.
