00:00:07
hello everyone
00:00:09
today we are going to talk about the myth of
00:00:12
prometheus, there have been a lot of you
00:00:15
and talk about mythology in my
00:00:17
videos and I chose the myth of
00:00:19
prometheus because it seems to me that it is
00:00:20
one of these myths which have
00:00:22
things to teach us about
00:00:24
human nature, that is to say about ourselves,
00:00:27
the myths are not only
00:00:29
pleasant and fanciful stories that we
00:00:32
learn in college in Latin and Greek classes,
00:00:34
the myths are much more than that they
00:00:37
are learning supports,
00:00:40
supports for transmitting the vision of the
00:00:42
world of the ancients in the sense that the
00:00:45
myths form an allegory of
00:00:47
the organization of the universe and of
00:00:49
human passions
00:00:50
to put it another way to be interested to
00:00:53
myth is to be interested in the destiny of
00:00:56
humanity and if I chose the myth of Prometheus
00:00:59
today it is because they
00:01:00
give us food for thought on the nature
00:01:03
of one of the human attributes par
00:01:05
excellence namely knowledge
00:01:09
then there are several versions of the
00:01:11
myth of Prometheus versions which go
00:01:13
back all the way to antiquity there is first
00:01:16
the version of Hesiod then the version
00:01:18
of Aeschylus and finally the version of Plato
00:01:22
in this video we do not We will not
00:01:23
treat each of these versions separately,
00:01:25
we will make a synthesis to
00:01:28
extract the essential elements and
00:01:31
to try to offer an
00:01:32
interpretation of what the myth of
00:01:34
Prometheus teaches us about the nature of
00:01:36
man.
00:01:40
is the one who stole the sacred fire from the
00:01:42
gods of Olympus Prometheus it is the
00:01:44
transmitter the transmitter of the fire the
00:01:47
transmitter being the one who takes to
00:01:50
give the transmitter does not take for
00:01:53
himself he takes for the benefit of
00:01:55
others
00:01:56
a little bit like robin hood who
00:01:58
stole money from the rich to
00:01:59
give it to the poor
00:02:00
knowing that the name robin comes from
00:02:03
the English to rob which means stolen and
00:02:06
which we also find in the
00:02:07
French verb dérobés
00:02:09
therefore promised to steal the fire sacred
00:02:12
odious and in doing so he provoked the
00:02:15
anger of the god of gods the anger of
00:02:18
Zeus who condemned promised an
00:02:20
extremely severe punishment that
00:02:23
of being tied to Mount Caucasus and having his
00:02:25
liver devoured by an eagle
00:02:28
every day the liver of Prometheus
00:02:30
growing back during the night
00:02:32
we find this idea a lot in the
00:02:34
punishments of the ancient gods this idea
00:02:36
of ​​cyclical repetition
00:02:38
this idea of ​​perpetuity
00:02:41
as much to say that for the gods there is
00:02:43
no redemption possible
00:02:44
there is no redemption possible
00:02:48
and therefore we will have to wonder about
00:02:49
the nature of the crime of promising
00:02:52
what did he do that was so reprehensible to
00:02:55
deserve such punishment
00:02:57
so to understand it we will take a
00:02:59
brief step back in time
00:03:01
immemorial the gods bored in
00:03:04
Olympus
00:03:05
he therefore imagines a way to distract himself
00:03:07
it will be the creation of living beings
00:03:11
so we are talking about a time where
00:03:13
living beings terrestrial creatures
00:03:14
do not yet exist and the gods think
00:03:17
that creating living beings will
00:03:20
allowing them to get out of their troubles
00:03:22
it will offer them a spectacle
00:03:25
so both validate the idea of ​​creating
00:03:27
living beings
00:03:28
the only problem is that the gods
00:03:30
do not want to take care of them
00:03:31
too busy eating food Ambrosia to
00:03:35
delight in their nectars
00:03:36
he decides to entrust this work to two
00:03:39
titans 2 brothers Prometheus and Epimetheus
00:03:43
it turns out that Prometheus was in
00:03:45
Zeus's little papers because
00:03:47
in the war which pitted Zeus against his
00:03:49
father Chronos Prometheus took the lead. party
00:03:51
of zeus unlike most of the
00:03:54
other titans who took the side of
00:03:56
chronos it must be believed that promised
00:03:58
knew that zeus was going to win this
00:04:00
war which is not surprising when
00:04:02
we know that the meaning of the name
00:04:04
promised is the far-sighted he who
00:04:08
sees in advance prometheus is the aim he is
00:04:12
the prudent one who thinks
00:04:15
before acting
00:04:17
so prometheus epimetheus finds himself in
00:04:19
charge of the creation of living beings
00:04:22
more precisely animals but it
00:04:25
turns out that epimetheus wants to
00:04:27
take care of it alone,
00:04:29
so he asks his brother to promise
00:04:31
to kindly let him accomplish
00:04:32
this work alone, work consisting
00:04:35
of the distribution
00:04:37
of attributes between the different
00:04:40
animal species,
00:04:42
so this is perhaps the only moment of the
00:04:43
myth or prometheus is very poorly
00:04:45
named since he accepts his brother's request
00:04:48
he agrees to let epimetheus
00:04:50
take care of the distribution of the
00:04:53
qualities of each animal species
00:04:55
so obviously we cannot
00:04:57
distribute the qualities of animals
00:04:59
randomly but why well because it is
00:05:01
necessary to maintain a balance the entire
00:05:04
cosmos rests on the law of
00:05:05
balance moreover the very word
00:05:08
cosmos in Greek means order harmony
00:05:11
and therefore we will have to arrange so
00:05:13
that the animal species are provided
00:05:16
equally
00:05:17
certain species will receive strength
00:05:20
while others will receive
00:05:22
speed certain species will be provided
00:05:25
with claws while others will be
00:05:27
provided with hooves certain
00:05:30
species will bear wool while others
00:05:32
will be clothed in 'thick leather we
00:05:34
will distribute wings to birds
00:05:37
pasta to grandmas farm fins to
00:05:40
fish
00:05:41
and finally epimetheus does rather
00:05:43
very well in the distribution of
00:05:45
attributes he ensures that the
00:05:47
animal species are more or less
00:05:49
equally provided
00:05:51
so let's hear being
00:05:53
fairly provided for does not mean
00:05:55
that there will not be predators and prey
00:05:58
of course that there will be species which
00:06:00
will surpass the others which will do
00:06:02
their four hours but the species
00:06:04
will be sufficiently provided to be able to
00:06:07
ensure the generational cycle to
00:06:10
be able to perpetuate itself over time and
00:06:13
that's what counts so epimetheus we
00:06:16
arrive at the end of the distribution of
00:06:17
attributes is very happy he very
00:06:20
satisfied with what he has done
00:06:22
but except that they forgot
00:06:24
something something something
00:06:26
extremely important
00:06:28
because in his haste Epimetheus has
00:06:31
totally forgotten to take care of
00:06:34
man
00:06:36
he has totally forgotten to endow the
00:06:38
human being with his attributes
00:06:40
and the problem is that there are no
00:06:42
attributes left has given to man
00:06:45
all the qualities have been distributed
00:06:48
no more attributes are available
00:06:50
so man finds himself naked
00:06:54
finding naked they find themselves at the same
00:06:56
time vulnerable at the mercy of other
00:06:59
animals
00:07:00
not being endowed with any quality l '
00:07:03
human being will find himself in the capacity
00:07:04
to survive he will find himself in
00:07:06
the inability to defend himself against
00:07:09
other animal species
00:07:11
the human being is literally stillborn
00:07:14
and then ms and m it means the one who
00:07:18
thinks after the fact
00:07:21
then put c he is one foresight
00:07:24
then how was Epimetheus going to
00:07:26
get out of this dirty affair
00:07:29
and well it is his brother Prometheus who will
00:07:31
come to his rescue and who will try to
00:07:33
repair the stupidities of his
00:07:36
thoughtful brother Prometheus and he only sees 'a
00:07:39
solution to make man apps to
00:07:42
survive to make man capable of
00:07:45
competing with other animals it
00:07:48
was going to be necessary to transmit him a weapon
00:07:51
so prometheus decides to enter
00:07:53
the palace of the gods of Olympus and
00:07:56
with the help of a torch
00:07:58
they steal the sacred fire they steal
00:08:01
the fire of the gods to transmit it to
00:08:04
men
00:08:06
and this is obviously where the
00:08:08
serious things begin
00:08:10
but first we must understand what
00:08:12
this fire represents
00:08:14
because fire we can understand it in the
00:08:17
literal sense
00:08:18
but we can also hear it in the allegorical sense
00:08:21
and you will see that in reality the
00:08:23
two meanings are inseparable
00:08:25
they are linked together by an
00:08:28
analogical relationship by a correspondence relationship
00:08:33
in the literal sense the fire is is what
00:08:35
allows us to heat ourselves and therefore to fight
00:08:38
against the cold,
00:08:39
that is to say to fight against
00:08:40
the hostility of the climate, fire allows us to
00:08:43
resist the rigors of winter,
00:08:44
it is therefore an extremely
00:08:46
precious weapon for survival,
00:08:49
fire also allows us to cook
00:08:51
food to cook food to digest it
00:08:53
so here again fire will be an
00:08:55
instrument of survival an instrument of
00:08:59
satisfaction of physiological needs
00:09:02
fire will also make it possible to
00:09:03
defend oneself against predators and we
00:09:06
know that at a certain time
00:09:07
when homo sapiens landed on a
00:09:09
new land it was not uncommon
00:09:11
for them to set fire to a drill to
00:09:14
be able to get rid of
00:09:15
the predators that inhabited it all the more quickly
00:09:18
fire is a weapon a weapon
00:09:19
of self-defense but also an offensive weapon
00:09:22
a weapon which would allow man
00:09:24
to hunt and therefore become the
00:09:27
predator of predators
00:09:30
and then fire it has yet another
00:09:31
use is that it would allow
00:09:33
man to create tools
00:09:36
fire it is the instrument of the forge
00:09:39
which makes it possible to melt the metal
00:09:41
contained in the ores and therefore
00:09:43
to further increase the range of tools
00:09:47
so if we summarize the fire would
00:09:49
allow men to heat themselves to
00:09:52
feed themselves to defend themselves and to create
00:09:55
tools
00:09:57
goodbye so to what extent they were going
00:09:58
to give the advantage to men
00:10:00
to what point by removing the fire man
00:10:03
became the animal to fear
00:10:05
the animal to fear
00:10:07
it's true but
00:10:10
not an element very important part of
00:10:11
the equation
00:10:13
is that if fire was going to allow
00:10:15
man to protect himself they were
00:10:17
also going to provide him with the means to
00:10:20
destroy
00:10:21
fire is a
00:10:23
destruction
00:10:25
transforms everything it encounters into
00:10:27
ashes
00:10:29
including everything that man himself
00:10:30
will have built
00:10:32
romandie by transmitting fire to
00:10:35
men prometheus transmitted to them
00:10:37
both the means of surviving and even the
00:10:40
means of dominating but also the means of
00:10:44
destroying and self-destructing
00:10:48
fire is therefore just as linked to
00:10:50
survival than to death
00:10:53
and to say that fire is both what
00:10:55
protects and what destroys but that
00:10:57
can only make us think of what
00:10:59
Freud 2 said about God
00:11:02
remember in the last video on
00:11:04
freud it was said that god was the
00:11:06
all-powerful father that the human being
00:11:08
had created the figure of the father referring
00:11:11
to that of authority, that is to say the
00:11:14
protection and punishment
00:11:17
of love and punishment
00:11:20
and what allows
00:11:21
these two poles to be held together, the
00:11:24
protective pole and the destructive pole,
00:11:27
well it is justice if the symbol of
00:11:30
justice is a scale it is also
00:11:33
to represent the necessary balance
00:11:34
between the crime and punishment
00:11:37
the necessary balance between two
00:11:38
opposite poles which neutralize each other
00:11:42
and what makes the balance
00:11:43
tip one way rather than the other
00:11:45
well it is precisely the
00:11:47
behavior men
00:11:50
because if one uses fire with wisdom
00:11:52
if he uses with virtue with prudence the
00:11:57
fire will only bring him benefits
00:12:00
but if they use with negligence or
00:12:02
even worse if they use with a
00:12:03
desire for destruction there is this moment there
00:12:06
the fire will destroy everything in its path
00:12:10
the effects of a weapon depend first of all
00:12:12
on the behavior of the person it uses
00:12:15
the tool is not responsible for what it is
00:12:17
made to commit
00:12:19
the child does not have autonomy
00:12:21
its effects are confused with the use we make of it
00:12:24
if we light a fire in a forest etc.
00:12:26
the forest is ravaged by this fire the
00:12:29
fault will not be attributed to the fire
00:12:32
the fault will fall on the one who has
00:12:34
shown negligence
00:12:36
fire is not assignable in court
00:12:38
but the arsonist is assignable in
00:12:41
court
00:12:43
it is the will which guides the tool which is
00:12:45
responsible for the effects of the tool
00:12:47
and the more dangerous the tool is the more
00:12:50
the tool has a high potential of
00:12:51
destruction and the more necessary it is
00:12:53
that it is accompanied by wise use
00:12:56
the more necessary that comes
00:12:58
with a sense of responsibility
00:13:02
unfortunately some of you
00:13:03
may have noticed that everything I
00:13:05
have just said all this uses on the
00:13:08
protective and destructive effects of fire
00:13:10
well we can apply it
00:13:12
point by point to the
00:13:15
allegorical meaning you want the
00:13:17
allegorical meaning of fire being knowledge
00:13:22
by transmitting fire to men
00:13:24
promised also transmitted knowledge to them
00:13:28
so it It turns out that what I am
00:13:30
telling us here is not a matter of
00:13:31
personal interpretation or
00:13:33
speculation, it is the myth itself which
00:13:36
indicates that at the same time as it promised
00:13:37
to steal the odious sacred fire
00:13:40
it also stole knowledge and
00:13:42
the arts from the goddess Athena and we
00:13:45
will recall that weapons
00:13:47
originally meant technical mastery
00:13:51
in this context the arts should not
00:13:53
be confused with the fine arts
00:13:54
the fine arts relating to aesthetics
00:13:57
while the arts short is a matter of
00:14:00
technique,
00:14:02
in other words in the same way that
00:14:03
fire would allow men
00:14:05
to establish their superiority over the
00:14:07
animal kingdom and to master nature to
00:14:10
emancipate themselves from its constraints and in the
00:14:13
same way knowledge, that is to say
00:14:15
science and technology would
00:14:18
allow men to become, in
00:14:20
the words of Descartes, master
00:14:22
and possessor of nature;
00:14:24
knowledge is what allows you to
00:14:26
master your environment by
00:14:28
understanding it; it is what allows you to study
00:14:30
phenomena and to be able to adapt to it
00:14:32
astronomical knowledge for
00:14:35
example allows us to understand and
00:14:37
anticipate certain phenomena for
00:14:39
example the passage of a meteorite
00:14:41
meteorological phenomena or quite
00:14:44
simply the cycle of the seasons
00:14:46
knowledge in physics in chemistry
00:14:48
and biology has made it possible the invention of
00:14:51
medicine
00:14:53
knowledge is what allowed
00:14:55
the human being to rise above the
00:14:57
animal kingdom and aqua does the human species
00:14:59
owe its domination over other
00:15:01
species it owes it to knowledge
00:15:05
the owes to this particular faculty which
00:15:08
allows us to understand the world in order to be
00:15:10
able to adapt to it this faculty being
00:15:12
knowledge
00:15:15
without knowledge we could never have
00:15:16
extended our reign on
00:15:19
earth
00:15:20
never could we have claimed to
00:15:22
replace god
00:15:25
his book sapiens harari explains to us
00:15:27
that our distant ancestors experienced a
00:15:30
cognitive revolution which resulted
00:15:32
in the increase in the size of our
00:15:34
brain which led to
00:15:36
homo sapiens standing up on its two
00:15:39
legs which led to the beginning of
00:15:41
bipedalism
00:15:43
or in fact bipedalism has allowed the
00:15:46
freeing of the hands from the function of
00:15:48
locomotion if you prefer to
00:15:52
stand on two legs with our
00:15:54
hands we can be used for something else
00:15:56
but it turns out that the hand is our
00:15:59
first tool
00:16:01
because the hand is a
00:16:04
gripping instrument that
00:16:06
allows us to grasp objects thanks to the
00:16:09
opposable thumb
00:16:11
and to grasp an object is to be able to
00:16:13
use
00:16:14
it is to be able to use it as a tool we
00:16:17
beat it uses the primate to
00:16:19
strike its enemy
00:16:21
an instrument of prehension it is
00:16:23
also an instrument of creation,
00:16:25
that is to say of manufacturing
00:16:29
and this is what allows us to say that the
00:16:30
hand is an extension of the mind the
00:16:32
means of exteriorization of the spirit
00:16:34
in matter because technology
00:16:36
goes hand in hand with intelligence
00:16:39
knowledge and technology are
00:16:41
inseparable quite simply because
00:16:42
technology is the manifestation in
00:16:45
matter of knowledge it is the
00:16:48
extension of the mind outside the body
00:16:52
the technique is the means of
00:16:54
concretizing the idea
00:16:57
creating a tool supposes having in view
00:16:59
the result of our manufacturing creating
00:17:03
a tool is being able to
00:17:05
represent in advance the purpose of the
00:17:08
process that we are currently accomplishing
00:17:11
this means that the created object exists
00:17:14
as a representation of consciousness
00:17:16
before existing outside of
00:17:19
consciousness before existing as a
00:17:22
material reality
00:17:24
this is what which made Marc say that
00:17:26
the worst architect would
00:17:28
always be superior to the most expert
00:17:31
bee because the difference between the
00:17:33
two is that the architect has in his
00:17:35
mind the final representation of
00:17:38
what he is in the process of creating.
00:17:40
thus creating the hand is the intermediary
00:17:42
between spirit and matter
00:17:46
in the same way that man is an
00:17:48
intermediary between the earth and the sky
00:17:51
between the animal and god
00:17:55
Nietzsche said that god was dead at the
00:17:58
moment when s The need
00:18:00
for human beings to resort to God
00:18:02
to explain the phenomena of the world has
00:18:03
collapsed at the same time as the need
00:18:06
to find meaning outside our
00:18:09
minds
00:18:10
by answering a certain number of
00:18:12
questions by lifting the veil has collapsed. on
00:18:14
certain mysteries of the universe
00:18:16
science has placed man in a position
00:18:18
to replace god
00:18:22
in a position to become god himself
00:18:26
but of course this extraordinary
00:18:27
power of knowledge which has allowed
00:18:30
men to become as master and
00:18:31
possessor of the The nature of this power
00:18:33
is accompanied by its fatal counterpart,
00:18:36
that is to say that as man
00:18:37
increased his knowledge of the world,
00:18:41
as Loeb accumulated knowledge, he
00:18:44
became at the same time capable of
00:18:45
destroying everything he had. constructed
00:18:48
and become at the same time capable of
00:18:49
reinitiating chaos
00:18:52
thus just like fire knowledge
00:18:54
does not only produce
00:18:55
beneficial effects knowledge does
00:18:57
not only produce objectively
00:18:59
positive effects from the point of view of the survival of
00:19:01
men
00:19:02
or even for that matter of point of view of the
00:19:03
survival of the planet
00:19:06
today capable of destroying in the
00:19:08
blink of an eye the equivalent of several
00:19:10
terrestrial globes
00:19:11
which allows us is the
00:19:13
atomic bomb an atomic bomb which is the
00:19:16
fruit of human science the
00:19:19
knowledge of the atom is what allowed the invention of the
00:19:21
atomic bomb, in
00:19:23
other words knowledge can be
00:19:25
put at the service of annihilation
00:19:28
and here again what will make the
00:19:30
difference between a
00:19:32
beneficial knowledge between a
00:19:34
useful knowledge from the point of view of
00:19:36
human survival useful from the point of view of
00:19:38
satisfying needs
00:19:40
what will make the difference
00:19:41
between this knowledge and
00:19:43
knowledge geared towards destruction
00:19:46
what is the difference between
00:19:47
knowledge which will serve the health of
00:19:50
humanity and a knowledge which will
00:19:52
serve the killing of humanity
00:19:55
well here again
00:19:56
it is wisdom which will guide or not
00:19:59
its use
00:20:02
its the atomic bomb is the fruit of
00:20:04
wisdom
00:20:06
nothing is less certain
00:20:08
it clearly seems to be the
00:20:09
fruit of the hubris of excess,
00:20:13
this excess which characterizes the
00:20:15
human species since it is capable
00:20:17
of intervening in the order of the world
00:20:19
since it is in ability to
00:20:22
take oneself as god
00:20:24
which defines knowledge c
00:20:26
ambivalence
00:20:28
is what means that most often
00:20:29
when we speak of the Promethean myth it is
00:20:32
in a pejorative sense
00:20:34
it is to highlight the
00:20:36
proud will of being human to become
00:20:39
god in place of god
00:20:41
the Promethean myth
00:20:42
generally announcing ruin and catastrophe
00:20:46
destruction by hubris
00:20:50
luck is only ruin of the soul said
00:20:52
Rabelais
00:20:53
knowledge without virtues will lead man
00:20:55
to his ruin
00:20:58
fire would not be thus not only the
00:21:00
symbol of knowledge it would at the
00:21:02
same time be the symbol of pride
00:21:05
of pride which very often guides
00:21:07
our use of knowledge
00:21:10
fire and it can at the same time be the
00:21:12
incandescent flame of desire
00:21:15
of desire which us burns to impose our
00:21:18
rule
00:21:20
destroy
00:21:22
I would like to point out to you
00:21:24
something quite amusing namely that
00:21:27
fire is the only one of the four elements
00:21:29
which propagates upwards
00:21:32
the fire describes a movement of elevation
00:21:35
moreover lances in fire we say
00:21:37
that the flames rise
00:21:40
in other words under this
00:21:41
reading grid fire is indeed the
00:21:43
divine element since it is the element which
00:21:46
rises towards the sky
00:21:48
the elemental indicates gravity
00:21:51
the lowest element water is
00:21:54
also an element which describes a
00:21:55
downward movement water flows and
00:21:58
unlike earth it spreads
00:22:01
into the smallest corners air for
00:22:03
its part is a stagnant element it is not no
00:22:06
more directed upwards or downwards
00:22:10
while fire describes an upward movement
00:22:12
symbolically fire would therefore be
00:22:15
a divine element
00:22:17
and why do I say that
00:22:19
quite simply because in
00:22:20
antiquity we find this idea that
00:22:22
the human being is in connection is in
00:22:26
close connection with the world of the divine
00:22:30
and parka the intermediary is man
00:22:31
in contact with the divine
00:22:33
through the intermediary of his reason
00:22:36
through what the Greeks
00:22:37
called the logos
00:22:39
the logo which is both reason
00:22:42
and discourse, that is to say the reason
00:22:45
to manifest
00:22:47
is the idea of ​​the verb of the verb creators
00:22:51
or we are accustomed to symbolizing reason
00:22:53
by light
00:22:55
the light that produces the The late
00:22:58
philosophers of the Enlightenment designated themselves
00:23:01
thus because they claimed to
00:23:03
fight against the obscurantism of
00:23:05
ignorance
00:23:06
for them the Enlightenment was
00:23:08
knowledge knowledge through reason
00:23:12
when we represent Archimedes at the bottom
00:23:14
of his bathtub who understands everything suddenly
00:23:16
the principle of pushing is presented to them
00:23:19
with a small bulb which
00:23:21
lights up and this famous phrase eureka
00:23:23
the light coming here represents
00:23:26
understanding the lighting of reason
00:23:30
in the literal sense the light is beautiful and
00:23:32
good which allows us to see and to see
00:23:35
far from foreseeing
00:23:38
we also find the Latin root
00:23:40
loucks in the words lucid lucid
00:23:43
meaning clairvoyant and what is
00:23:46
man or science that we usually
00:23:48
attribute to the god if not the
00:23:50
total light that which illuminates all
00:23:55
according to the ancients the human being
00:23:57
because he possesses reason because he
00:23:59
possesses the fire of the logos possesses at the same
00:24:01
time a particle of the divine
00:24:04
a particle of omniscience
00:24:07
and that is what makes the human being a
00:24:08
to be intermediary between the animals and
00:24:12
the gods by transmitting to us the fire
00:24:15
it is like this promised had thrown a
00:24:17
vertical bridge between the earth and the
00:24:20
sky as if he had thrown a ladder
00:24:23
which allows us to rise to the
00:24:25
condition of the gods but without having
00:24:28
the wisdom
00:24:30
also notice one thing it is this
00:24:32
other parallel that we can establish between
00:24:34
fire and knowledge namely that
00:24:36
fire is the only resource which
00:24:39
multiplies when we divide it
00:24:43
with a candle we can light other
00:24:46
candles without ever diminishing the flame of
00:24:48
the first candle
00:24:50
so knowledge multiplies
00:24:53
when we transmit it
00:24:55
when you transmit knowledge
00:24:56
to someone you do not lose this
00:24:58
recognition
00:24:59
we could even say you reinforced
00:25:02
it you maintain
00:25:05
we maintain a fire in the fireplace
00:25:08
which disappears if we do not maintain
00:25:11
if we pass it on not promise
00:25:15
our donors but futile our
00:25:18
benefactor
00:25:19
that knew how to give us he gave us knowledge
00:25:24
he gave us intelligence he gave us
00:25:28
given freedom
00:25:30
but he did
00:25:32
not give wisdom
00:25:35
did not give us virtue
00:25:38
he did not give us seven other
00:25:40
properties of the gods which allows us to
00:25:42
master the first
00:25:45
which allows us to master knowledge
00:25:48
recently to note that in most
00:25:50
mythological stories
00:25:51
every time the human being accesses
00:25:54
a faculty of the gods he is always
00:25:56
punished
00:25:58
what happens in the
00:25:59
biblical episode of adam and eve it happens that
00:26:02
when adam and eve drops the fruit of
00:26:04
the tree of the knowledge of good and evil
00:26:06
this fruit of which the serpent said
00:26:09
that after having tasted it adam and eve
00:26:11
would be like the gods
00:26:14
after having transgressed it is forbidden
00:26:16
in other words after having accessed
00:26:19
knowledge adam and eve are punished
00:26:23
are expelled from the garden of Eden and
00:26:25
is forced to experiment with the laws
00:26:28
of matter
00:26:29
experienced work and suffering
00:26:34
realized that prometheus had stolen
00:26:36
the sacred fire
00:26:38
he did not simply punish promised
00:26:40
it is not only prometheus who condemned him
00:26:42
to perpetual suffering
00:26:45
he also decided to punish the
00:26:47
human kingdom as a whole
00:26:49
it is for this reason that he
00:26:51
created by hephaestus the first
00:26:53
human woman pandora literally the one who
00:26:58
is adorned with all the gifts
00:27:00
of aphrodite she received the beauty
00:27:03
of apollo the musical talent
00:27:07
eynaud the technical skill
00:27:10
those
00:27:11
curiosity and the art of lying
00:27:14
aydius offered pandora to epimetheus
00:27:19
damman epimetheus could only
00:27:21
succumb to the fatal beauty of pandora
00:27:24
but it turns out that pandora brings
00:27:27
with her a box the famous
00:27:31
pandora's box that zeus had forbidden her
00:27:33
to open
00:27:35
and once married to epimetheus pandora,
00:27:38
torn by the curiosity that she had
00:27:41
received from hermes could not help but open
00:27:43
the box
00:27:45
but this box contained all the
00:27:48
misfortunes of humanity
00:27:50
illness
00:27:52
m old age
00:27:55
amine and hope by opening
00:28:00
Pandora's box will release all the ills of
00:28:02
humanity
00:28:04
when she wanted to close the box she
00:28:06
understood that it was already too late
00:28:10
thing that remains to hofu from pandora's box
00:28:14
it is hope
00:28:16
hope the greatest of all
00:28:20
evils the evil that makes us endure
00:28:25
the other worlds
00:28:27
[Music]
00:28:30
in Olympus the harmony that
00:28:32
once reigned wavers zeus has dethroned his father
00:28:35
chronos and seized power
00:28:38
prometheus the titan and his brother and then
00:28:40
put rallied to zeus who
00:28:43
thus becomes the supreme god of
00:28:44
Olympus
00:28:45
one morning fomenting a project dear to his
00:28:48
heart zeus summons the two brothers and
00:28:50
tells them I orders you to decree life on
00:28:52
earth for men and animals and to
00:28:55
grant them the gifts and qualities
00:28:57
they will need to live
00:28:58
and he added to thouars prometheus you
00:29:01
entrust yourself with the responsibility of giving the breath of
00:29:03
life to each being is yours epimetheus
00:29:06
to arm them to defend himself
00:29:08
epimetheus asks his brother to
00:29:10
leave him alone creates living beings
00:29:12
prometheus accepts impulsively the titan
00:29:15
begins with the animals without thinking
00:29:17
he immediately distributes all the gifts
00:29:20
strength speed courage and cunning
00:29:23
feathers and hair to protect himself from the
00:29:26
cold then when the men's turn finally comes
00:29:29
there is nothing left epimetheus
00:29:32
whose name means who thinks too
00:29:34
late finds himself helpless not knowing
00:29:37
how to repair his mistake he calls
00:29:39
his brother breast-feeding prometheus sees the
00:29:41
ferocious animals then turns towards the
00:29:43
men they are naked without weapons
00:29:46
without any protection he understands
00:29:49
that they will have no chance of
00:29:50
surviving in this wild world more wise
00:29:52
and wise than his brother prometheus the price
00:29:55
seeing reflected and if we are going to put
00:29:57
the men upright at the image of the gods and
00:30:00
above all we are going to give them what
00:30:02
will make him superior to animals the
00:30:04
knowledge I transmit to them very mons
00:30:07
having received from Athena goddess of wisdom
00:30:10
with water and earth prometheus
00:30:13
shape the body of men
00:30:14
athena has him taught metallurgy the
00:30:17
arts and agricultural techniques
00:30:19
prometheus transmits his
00:30:21
knowledge to them all that remains is the fire
00:30:24
necessary to save humanity with
00:30:27
men will be able to make tools
00:30:29
build a habitat hunting and raising
00:30:32
animals leather clothing themselves warming
00:30:36
with fire the men will be able to
00:30:38
subdue hostile nature and survive
00:30:41
but fire then only exists in one
00:30:43
place
00:30:44
our lamps where the gods live it will be necessary
00:30:48
to bring it in secretly, once there they will steal the stolen gold prometheus price athena
00:30:56
a brand
00:30:59
of sacred fire that he hides in a
00:31:01
stem of reeds then he offers to men
00:31:04
here is the fire take care it will be
00:31:07
your best protection
00:31:08
but soon two notices the theft of
00:31:11
prometheus and his anger is limitless
00:31:13
developing his revenge he gives them the
00:31:16
creation of Pandora first woman to die
00:31:18
on earth and offers her hand
00:31:20
Epimetheus this one brings with her
00:31:22
two boxes which once opened releases
00:31:25
all the evils of humanity
00:31:26
the punishment reserved for Prometheus is
00:31:29
just as cruel Prometheus how did you
00:31:32
dared to flout the ban you stole the
00:31:35
sacred fire of the gods you believed to be my equal
00:31:37
but you are only a titan your punishment
00:31:39
will be equal to your crime in a
00:31:42
white and cold voice
00:31:43
he orders hephaestus god of fire takes
00:31:47
promised to the mountains of the caucasus
00:31:48
and chains him pocketed that an eagle
00:31:51
comes to devour his liver and that this
00:31:53
punishment is repeated for eternity
00:31:55
subjected to the torture of god prometheus is
00:31:58
condemned to remain chained to the rock
00:32:00
every day of a beat from the wing
00:32:02
the eagle comes and swoops down on its prey to
00:32:05
satisfy itself with its liver and each night
00:32:07
in the motionless darkness the organ
00:32:10
regenerates but the bird of prey always returns
00:32:13
in the early morning for its frightful
00:32:15
feast
00:32:18
[Music]
00:32:20
thank you prometheus

Imprévoyant, Épiméthée distribue tous les attributs aux animaux, et oublie l'homme, le laissant nu et vulnérable. Pour leur permettre de survivre, Prométhée décide de voler le feu sacré aux dieux de l'Olympe afin de le transmettre aux êtres humains. Ainsi naquit le mythe de Prométhée. ---------------------------------- 👨🏻‍🏫 QUI EST LE PRÉCEPTEUR ? Charles Robin est précepteur et enseignant en philosophie, français et mathématiques.
