Similarities between the 3rd Account of "Genesis" and "Prometheus Bound".

(The article "Prometheus Bound" was too difficult- both the characters and the old-fashioned language.)

Here, I am going to discuss the similarities between the 3rd Account of " Genesis" ( In this post, I am going to use "Gen 3" for "the 3rd Account of "Genesis") and "Prometheus Bound" according to the notes.

First of all, There are both male characters in "Gen3" and "Prometheus Bound". In "Gen 3", he is "God"; in "Prometheus Bound", he is "Zeus". They are both authority figures who don't want to share knowledge or technology with people, and also, they punish the animal or person who helps human. In "Gen 3", God punished the serpent who asked the woman to eat the fruit of the tree that is in the middle if the garden, and after God knew that the woman ate the fruit, he punished the serpent. Similarly, Prometheus got punished by Zeus too.

Another similarity is that in both "Gen 3" and " Prometheus Bound", the role of the serpent can be compared with that of Prometheus; they both help people to gain vital knowledge and skill, but they both are punished.

The last similarity is that in "Gen 3", there are "Adam" and " Eve"; likely, in "Prometheus Bound", there are people. However, on the other hand, Adam and Eve are braver and stronger than people in the latter; they take the fruit and try the things that may be good for them. In contrast, people in " Prometheus Bound" are much weaker and need more help from the others.

To sum up, there are three main similarities between these characters discussed above: God and Zeus, the serpent and Prometheus, Adam&Eve and people. I think both are interesting to read, but I prefer "Gen 3".
