Greek mythology tells us strange stories, which all are based on a true heart. The most fabulous one is probably the creation of Man.
For the ancient Greeks, man was created by Prometheus, a Titan, nephew ofZeus, whose name means God. We have already told this episode. What we did not say is that Prometheus did not want an alter-ego. He wanted a servant, a slave. So why embarrass him with a soul? This servile creature would not need it … But here, luckily, a goddess intervened. In the Sumerian mythology, she was called Ninhursag, the head nurse, head of incubators. In Egyptian mythology, her name is Isis, she is also our mother benefactress. In Roman mythology, she is Minerva, the daughter of Jupiter.
As in Greek mythology, she is Athena, daughter of Zeus.
The rebel Athena confronts her uncle Prometheus, the powerful Titan.
Only because he’s the boss … and also because he is the best geneticist among all the former gods. Imagine: the nurse dared defying the big boss!!! Listening only to her tender heart, she gave man an immortal soul.
Athena O divine benefactress, thank you for giving us this gate to elsewhere, this hope for another future. Without you, O divine giant, we would be only effective apes. Our ability and our discernment may put us on top of living beings that inhabit this planet. But without you, man would merely be a superior animal. What he is definitely not. Without you, without your heart beating for us, there would be no love, no art, no eden-saga.
Without you we would be only numbers in the files of Social Security. Without you we would work every day of our life to earn enough not to lose it. Without you, we would only concern ourselves with material things. Since we would have no soul, why worry about something else? Without you, we would have ended up believing in a single value, money. Without you and without this soul that your generous heart gave us we would only be matter destined to disappear.
Without you, we would love all kinds of different gods. We would be able to kill each other for them.
Good for us, otherwise it would have been a bad start. Thank you Mother Athena, the rebel with a tender heart.
And if God really existed
-as said Bakhounine,
this vitamin comrade-
we should get rid of him.Leo Ferré
